Chef Wendel and Aunt Jemima

Wendy, Brian and Brad scheming where they might find some more of Chef Wendel's quinoa and stir fry - it was AWESOME! (Note the pretty layer of snow falling in the background - unfortunately, it only lasted about an hour and then turned to freezing Indy winter yuck.)

The ladies from HR - Shannon, Stephanie and Dee - join Lori as chef Wendel tells of of the poison that is high fructose corn syrup.

The audience really sat up and took notice when Chef Wendel started citing off the origins of all those fancy sweeteners - bottom line: If you want it sweet, look for REAL sweet things in nature, like evaporated cane juice, molasses, brown sugar, or stevia.

"So, 300 pounds ago, I would wake up every day and spend my quality morning hours, in nothing but my boxer shorts, with this lady, Aunt Jemima, never knowing that she was KILLING ME! High Fructose corn syrup is POISON!!"

Lori and Wendy flashing big smiles after listening to Chef Wendel's inspiring, entertaining and practical story of making simple yet crucial changes to our diets in order to enjoy long, healthy lives.

It is our intention that 'our people' learn to make nutritional choices based on fact - not fad.  And eventually learn to make these choices by listening to their bodies vs. ego-noise.  Help one-another along by sharing 'new-finds' of items without high fructose corn-syrup, partially-hydrogenated oils, and other miscellaneous chemical 'stuff'.  As you make your discoveries, share them as requests in the Cafe.  We're all learning this stuff together!

yours in health,
