[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387719, member: 1233"] Given that we are just a VERY few chromosomes different from orangutans, I do take many of these things with a heapin' helpin' of salt. So many of the studies we see/hear about are designed in ways to get certain outcomes to prove certain theories. We rarely hear about studies that don't prove whatever the researchers want to prove. having studied marketing and taken classes in how to design statistically sound studies, I am very skeptical about every study. Some things do make sense, and given the way our bodies process gluten, corn, wheat, cow's milk and other things, moderation needs to be the overall plan for our lives, in my opinion. I do prefer sugar to corn syrup, just like I prefer cane sugar to beet sugar. Just like I prefer milk from cows who are fed certain things. One dairy/ice cream place here has their own herds and only uses milk from those cows. It makes a HUGE difference in how the milk tastes. Not so much the cheese or ice cream, but thoes have a lot of other ingredients. As for farmer's markets, a LOT depends on the market. In our town the Farmer's Market only lets people sell stuff after they show that they grow the items. One man sells breads and canned goods and he grows even the wheat, oats and rye he uses in the various things, along with teh veggies in his salsa. If vendors make something they must prove that the ingredients are grown in our state. It is one reason why people drive an hour or more to come to our market. The one in one of the big cities has no requirements for where the food is grown or made. There was a couple here who made their own "farm market" but all the items were trucked in from other states.
