Can you eat only ‘real food’ for a month?
(CNN) — The task set by a food blogger seemed deceptively simple: Eat real food for a month.
More than 900 people signed up for the challenge, and some were confident that it would not be difficult to avoid processed foods for 28 days.
But in the age of potato powders, cheese in a squirt can and microwaveable meals, eating only “real food” turned out to be much more difficult.
On Day One of the challenge, blogger Jennifer McGruther gave this instruction: Purge your pantry of processed foods.
This meant everything with refined oils, white flour, sugar, low- and skimmed-milk products, margarine, processed cheeses, refined salt and dried pastas had to go.

At first I thought this was a joke. This is how I eat. It takes time but l have organized my life to eat live foods that I grow or buy and prepare. You can try to boost your body on a diet of lousy corporate truck food but………… there are so many risks. [see the movie Food, Inc.]
The absolute best is food you grow. We only get to enjoy that 5 months out of the year. We store lots of food for later enjoyment. I find fresh, live foods give me such a great burst of energy to say nothing of the wonderful flavor and smells in your home.
Take this challenge. Pump up your Health!
