BACON IS FOR CLOSERS...

Last night I stopped at a Buc-ee's station. (Texans know what I'm talking about! But for you easterners, it's a Wawa on steroids. A convenience store the size of a Walmart filled with many tasty proprietary wonders!) While there, I picked up some fresh jerky along with a half-pound link of venison/pork sausage. I sampled both before buying, and they were delicious! I didn't think about checking ingredients. But when I got home, I noticed sodium nitrite on the sausage label, and MSG in the jerky. I usually avoid both of those if I can, but most commercially available pork products contain nitrite (It's actually what turns it pink, I'm told) to fight off botulism. What's your opinion of these "natural" substances?

Well... MSG sure can make things taste good, but my better half isn't so keen it.

That said, when I was younger and not a candidate for heart and stoke, I would have not given it the least thought. But as I age and become a bit more health conscious, I try to eat more clean. But its not easy. Healthy eating is truly an act of the will. You might want to do some research on whole 30... but where is the fun in that? :laugh:


:laugh::laugh:... the nurses in his ward are going to have a grand time when he gets to the nursing home. Love you monkey. :rolleyes:

Hard to believe this silly thread is now 51 pages in length and showing no signs of slowing down. :twitchy:

What is really concerning is that most everyone that has posted here have had children.... Lord have mercy. ;)
