Our family has decided to make a slow switch to eating better. This I don't mean just low-fat, low calorie. Specifically, our plan is to eliminate white rice (hence the title of this post - i LOVE white rice) and substitute brown rice/barley/beans instead, go with free range and/or organic meats wherever we can, as well as free range eggs (which we have been doing for awhile on and off), organic fruits and veggies, and organic milk when Gemma starts cow's milk.The biggie, however, is to eventually eliminate processed meats (goodbye hot dogs, lunchmeat, Spam!).
The change comes because within a few months Gemma will be starting solids and I want to start her off right. If she is used to eating brown rice from the beginning, then she won't miss the white rice later. That, and Jesse has a family history of just about every disease with a strong history of colon cancer, and so that's why we need to eliminate processed meats. I like my husband and want to keep him around for as long as I can.
There are other changes I'd like to make down the road, but baby steps first. Wish us luck!
