October Unprocessed is a challenge initiated by Andrew at Eating Rules. I love the premise of this challenge - to really think about what we're eating and make changes for the better. Whether it's for the whole month or a couple of days, and whether it's 100% unprocessed or mostly unprocessed and with some exceptions - it's about making a change for the better and really thinking about the food we're consuming. And who knows, maybe one or two of the changes will stick for good!
In our home, I'd say we are well on our way to a fully unprocessed, whole foods diet. But, have had a few processed food items still lingering in our routine - namely breakfast items (cereal - argh) and the odd little chocolate here and there (and maybe a little more in my case!). That is what I plan to focus on in October - finding unprocessed breakfast alternatives and unprocessed sweet treats.
I've taken the pledge to go Unprocessed in October. I'd love you to join me, in whatever way suits you, depending on where you are in your food journey. Head over to Eating Rules for loads of October Unprocessed information and to take the pledge.
I look forward to getting started with October Unprocessed and sharing the experience with you. I'd love to hear about what you think of this challenge and whether you're going to be going Unprocessed in October.

I have to say the last few processed foods we have are organic breakfast cereals and organic crackers. It's hard to take crackers out of the house with a little one so dependent on them. I found your link on Keep it Real Thursdays.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! It was tough removing crackers from our diet a couple of months back (we found they aggravated Mr 2's eczema so it was important to get crackers out of his diet.) For snacks now I give them sliced apple/carrots and they even willingly accept pieces of cold toast in place of crackers. I say just take it one step at a time. Good luck. :)
