I have dropped several products because I figured out that what I thought was one thing was really another because of ingredient research. I'm doing negotiation with heavy cream, since I need to read every label every time because it can vary from month to month, I swear.

And now, the "No artificial flavors" on the new package means the contents are worse, not better. And it's a snacky item he likes and keeps under control, so we're back to the slightly weird label instead of the one that actively upsets his stomach.

However, I am losing cravings that came up during a winter of protein bars, but while I crave them, I almost immediately remember how long they lasted -- not much. And the craving goes away.

I'm certainly doing better than I was then. Now I'm fussy, too. Can't do chicken at all.

I think the kind of chicken I can get until the farmer's market opens is only edible when battered, fried, and dipped in an over-flavored sauce.
