Now they actually say what they are: factories. When I watch a program that shows how something I like is made, it usually turns me off to it. In response, I grow more food, eat less processed, train my palette to accept alternative choices, seek out organic, and otherwise try to take control what goes on my table (and in my tummy). <br /><br />Glad the tip about the passworded blog worked out for everyone. Wouldn't want to turn anyone off about visiting your site. That would be a shame for sure. :-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-20898287119839139592012-06-27T05:10:09.001-07:002012-06-27T05:10:09.001-07:00It just shows that people get sucked in to conveni...It just shows that people get sucked in to convenience and slowly the old ways of doing things will be lost if we are not careful.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199859409385042568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-65889560035101983712012-06-27T05:09:35.284-07:002012-06-27T05:09:35.284-07:00Yes, I have tried all sorts of things, making ketc...Yes, I have tried all sorts of things, making ketchup, making baked beans, anything really that comes in a can or a packet, I will give a go trying to make it myself. yes, toiletries too.

They are obviously on limited incomes but still insist on buying tinned soups (which to be frank, are mostly disgusting) when for the price of a few veg, they could make something far more tasty. Surely they must have learned something from the war years. Sorry I've gone off at a tangent but your post just struck a chord with me.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-79223603068371911572012-06-27T02:15:46.764-07:002012-06-27T02:15:46.764-07:00Your post is really interesting.

So I always wonder "How did my grandma do that in the 1940s ?" And I do a google search for homemade this or that. I learned a lot, and now I changed a lot of my habits - it goes for food, but also for cleaning (mind you, I didn't throw my washing machine out !) and cosmetics,and I can now do without some stuff like cell phone, video games... I'm trying to convince my husband not to replace the microwave that gave up the ghost but this is a tough one. So if he really can't do without, we'll replace it, the aim is not to be a terrorist about it - but I'll sure use it less.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322650387912154048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-72617793046093155872012-06-26T17:50:49.468-07:002012-06-26T17:50:49.468-07:00I'll admit, I clicked....

I used to make my own orange cordial as well as the now much more preferred lemon cordial. I make lemon fizzy drinks by diluting with some doda water. Even soda water can be made at home. But, I`m a bit lazy and buy Tesco`s cheap and chearful version for £0.42 a bottle. <br />If you get down to disecting all the ingredients of most shop bought items it will shock you how much of the components are either made with colouring agents or other additives, and you just haven`t got a clue that they are in it, unless you read every label and try to analize all the coded listings you will find meantioned as well. Making most things at home, cooking from fresh ingredients and sticking to what works for you is possibly the best choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-54484977756245407022012-06-26T13:07:07.134-07:002012-06-26T13:07:07.134-07:00Oh Dan!!!

Cup-a-soup is ok if you're in a pinch but it's definitely not something to eat every day! <br /><br />I am surprised like you that it is mostly orange in the squash. Funny it was mentioned, because my Dad and I were only looking at the ingredients the other day wondering what "comminuted oranges" were!
