oops! (was Elaine approved label/sustainability of cooking

[Guest guest]

Sorry! I hit the wrong button and posted before I was done.

I decided today to try to look for some already prepared foods that were already

SCD approved as I simple don't have time to call companies. I notice there are

random " Elaine approved this " labels throughout web-sites and lists, but not an

official list. I understand why there cannot be an " official list " because

companies change their ingredients. But....where did the " Elaine approved this "

label initiate from and can we trust these labels now?

For example someone said the Utopia Organic tomato juice was legal but who is

monitoring this recommendation? Can I trust this?

I want to adhere strictly to the diet, but honestly cannot imagine giving up my

few prepared items because of possible hidden ingredients, and am wondering if I

can substitute with some " approved items " that are already prepared.

I have an organized kitchen/menu/preparation system, cook in bulk at times, use

a timer to stay on track. I don't think I can cut out on any more of the

cooking time by being more organized, but 4-5 hours just doesn't feel like

something I can do long term.

I am not questioning the validity of the diet in any way, and I am hoping this

is just not whining, but need some shortcuts.

Thanks,
