Nakota,

I eat some, but less, of other people's food, eat more of their veggies even if

they are not organic, and just

make sure I eat plenty of garlic that night or the next day, and plenty of

water, to kill any of the bad stuff!

I found that, for myself, that it's better than hurting well intentioned

people's feelings. But if the people

eat really poorly, I will decline altogether. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys I appreciate all of your responses! I have tried to eat

whatever they are eating (in great moderation of course) but my

stomach has seemed to have become sensitive to it and doesn't agree

with me. I come from a family of very poor eaters, if it isn't deep

fried, covered in cheese with a side of gravy then it's not food (yep

that kind of family), and I have found that I am no longer able to

eat like that, nor do I want too. I have gone into great detail

about my eating habits with the family along with the 'whys and what

fors' hopefully they'll take it with a grain of salt and except it.

But if not, that's ok, I won't stress myself over it. Thanks again

everyone!!!
