I feel the same way here, but it can be difficult to overcome a physical craving using only mental techniques. It sometimes helps in this situation to look for the most similar vegan item available,...

What I like about this site is the way it tells us about all the nutrients. There are so many vitamins and minerals that are not listed on food labels and this helps us know what is truly in the...

I almost never use margarine and related spreads because the high level of bad fats raises cholesterol, producing a variety of harmful health effects.
