how do you all handle...(x-post)

[Guest guest]

I started changing our diet a few years ago. A few small changes over

time but now compared to about 5 years ago to now the changes are,

overall, radical. I used to make exceptions for myself and the kids if

we were at a friend's house or stopping to get something to eat out and

I can't anymore. It turns my stomach to think of fast food, or

factory-farmed meat, growth hormones, pesticides, white bread (the list

just keeps growing). I don't want to make those exceptions anymore

period. I am thinking I should come up with a nice way to put it when

offered food at a friends house that we no longer will eat at home. How

do you all handle the situations? I can't come out and say (w/out

offending anyone) that what they are choosing to eat isn't at all

healthy and I won't feed it to my children. We don't have food allergies

so I can't use that.
