I’m throwing them away. ‘Cause that’s what they are to me, garbage. Who wants to walk around farting and stinking up the room?
P.S. I ate the Kale and Bean Saute the next day without the “high fiber” tortilla and guess what? NO FARTING! Yeah!
For more on the disturbing things that food companies do to get you to buy their “healthy” processed garbage food, watch this video. This guy, Jeff Novick, used to work for Kraft Foods, and now he’s made it his mission to let us know the real deal. It’s a bit long, but totally worth it!
A bold post! Not only for sharing personal information, but also for challenging one of the most beloved and believed "truths" of nutrition.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

I love going to the supermarket when I have a great grocery list of fresh fruits and vegetables. But sometimes I want to make something that requires a "processed" item (like tortillas). I end up spending forever standing in the aisle reading labels and trying to pick the "best" one. And I usually end up with Food for Life products. And I don't eat them often, so I feel like they are okay once in awhile. I guess my question is, are you saying that you are no longer eating tortillas at all, or just high fiber ones?
Liz-I'm definitely not giving up tortillas, just the frankenfood ones with all of the isolated fibers that are added. There are a few of them on the market and they have very low calorie counts for the size of the tortilla–that's why they are so appealing. And I don't think these isolated fiber additives will cause a person harm (I'm not a scientist) but they do cause terrible flatulence and fool people into thinking that they are getting the fiber that they truly need to have excellent health–that kind of fiber has to come from real, whole food!
You are so funny! Thank you for your sense of humor! You made my day, because I had the opposite problem. I was farting all during Marco Island because I was eating all the processed crap, too. Like key lime pie, fried coconut shrimp and I even subjected myself to eating linguine and clams one night, at Joeys. (Oh, and I forgot I ate the garlic rolls too!)
Loved it!!!
But I'm back on the wagon, now that I have my lovely box from Toby! Michelle
