I'll bet! Just walking into the grocery store and seeing all that processed crap is depressing, never mind even eating it.

this is so timely with so many affected with seasonal depression, ty Nancy, we need to utilized everything at our fingertips. I rarely eat anything bagged with a lot ingredients, I remember one Dr on t.v. saying if there is much written after the main ingredient, you don't want it, all those other things are not healthy, all those words that make us say 'what is that', those things, yuk. go for the natural, and all that processing we pay extra for, we are paying for the crap that makes us sick.
be healthy all.

I eat local food, vey little meat but I eat meat, I get things like fresh from the cow milk and hand churned butter and am currently enjoying this years wild bluberry cider.

An interesting trival bit is fried chicken liver (yuck) has the precurser to your bodys natural antidepressent, I did data collection on a study and was pretty shocked at the actual chemical difference eating them makes. I just don't think I could eat them as they are gross (to me).

Plus if your suffering from SAD, exposure to fluro light can be very helpful. It is used in Alaska all the time.
