1 in 13 have food allergies...go figure!

Is it any wonder, with all of the pesticide use and genetically modified foods that our children are becoming more sensitive to what they eat.  Knowing that seeds are genetically modified to contain the pesticide is alarming.  Parents have to be vigilant to know what is going into their child's body and be aware of any potential reactions.  Statistically speaking, 1 in 13 children have food allergies.  Check out  this link for more information.

Over the years I have tried many gluten-free products.  Some of my favorites have been included in this post.  Tell me what your favorites are.  http://www.shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/the-best-gluten-free-foods-2486894/
  • BobsRedMill-  Love his flours and grains.  I order in bulk from his shop in Oregon.
  • EnerGFoods.  Great foods as well.  Pastas, grains.
