Plain food is the best, as you process (/ grow) it yourself.. Already my Oma (grandma) said, When I don't recognize it as something I'd eat/cook, it's crap.

I'm impressed how informed you're on American diet, food processing, etc. Sadly, never was I physically feeling that bad as when traveling the US (because of that "diet"). Most people just suffer and don't go beyond. (Stephanie Seneff's Toxic Legacy & Dr. Robert Lustig's Metabolical were really eyeopening books for me.)

Glad it's not celiac - I have a friend who has it and is bread-/pasta-/etc. lover (nope, not me), and she needed an eternity to find the right ingredients to indulge in her culinary "vice".

So off to some yummy breakfast for you (I already had lunch, being 8 hrs ahead).
