Cook, gluten free, of course

I’m going to borrow from Michael Pollan today, from “Food Rules”, which is a double entendre. “Cook” In theory, it should make little difference to your health whether you cook for yourself or let someone else do the work. But unless you can afford to hire a private chef to prepare meals exactly to your specifications, letting other people cook for you means losing control over your eating life, the portions as much as the ingredients. Cooking for yourself is the only sure way to take back control of your diet from the food scientists and food processors, and to guarantee you’re eating real food and not edible foodlike substances, with their unhealthy oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and surfeit of salt. Not surprisingly, the decline in home cooking closely parallels the rise in obesity, and research suggests that people who cook are more likely to eat a more healthful diet.” (me, now) This is leading up to something I will discuss tomorrow, unless the power goes out and my sump pump stops pumping. Maybe I’ll make that flourless chocolate cake I just saw on the computer earlier, so we will have something to eat…if we do lose power. Be safe everyone!!!
