Slow Food was originated in Italy when a group protested the opening of a new McDonalds. The organization represented the opposite of fast food by placing importance in local food, home cooked by traditional methods.

Cholesterol and saturated fat are not the bad actors, but instead refined sugar and synthetic vegetable oils are.  I am going to explain the science behind this harmful way of eating a low fat diet and why it is illogical.

When I started detoxing off sugar I needed a few ideas on how to use up the old stash. I have a really hard time throwing things away so I began experimenting with body scrubs. This combination is delicious and completely food grade.
