Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 1888804" data-attributes="member: 401801">I go organic where I can, which basically means, not often. I'll always have eggs from happy chickens (That's actually a brand name here: Blije Kip/Happy Chicken), and I'll have free range chicken meat, but that's about it. Here in the Netherlands we have a star system that tells you whether the animal in question had a good life. I usually have plenty of stars on my packaging, but that doesn't per se mean organic, just never overly processed. I buy my avocado's from the frozen aisle, rather than the bio fresh stuff which goes off when I blink anyway, and usually buy meat when it's rolled back. Broccoli-rice and cauliflouwer rice I buy in bulk and freeze. I'll splash on coffee and good extra dark chocolate, because both last me a long time, but.... It's just not doable for me otherwise. (Self funding test strips and supplements is expensive enough, as a Dutch T2 I have to cough it up myself.).  I'm thinking, if it's not processed half to death. it's low carb, and I can eat it without feeling guilty, it's all good. Which isn't what the books, websites and what have you say, but they're not the ones paying the rent. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
