Sistas and mistas I would like to see you use the same format as I have so as to keep Unity and Simplicity. I feel the nutritional facts that are presently posted are sufficient enough to get us to the product in the grocery store where we can investigate the item even more if we need to. It was created for ease of shopping and to introduce us to more products, those we are sharing with each other. Otherwise we will be bringing a dictionary to the grocery store instead of just a list. We can make all of our comments about the products separately. No recipes on this format either okay? I created this list for the market. I am actually calling it "My grocery store shopping buddy" . Thank you so much Linda for opening this thread for me. I truly appreciate it. Let's get the list growing sistas!, mistas! increasing our choices of foods that we eat every day. Direct everyone you know right here. Thank You. Luv Ya! Linda the Poet
