I haven't posted specifically on that topic, but I will add it to my list of future posts! Thanks everyone, for the suggestions, brands, stores, etc.!

It doesn't have nitrates or preservatives but some turb. sugar. Our local grocery also carried Carolina All Natural Turkey (tastes like fresh sliced turkey - not slimy deli meat). These 3 are the only deli I can find. *sigh* Good meat is so hard to find .... even in farm country! Too bad that we can't eat bread due to wheat sensitivities! :-) Yes - I get Hormel Natural ham & turkey from Walmart (it freezes well). It doesn't have nitrates or preservatives but some turb. sugar.

It really helps for someone like me, who is just beginning to sort through all the options. I do agree that Costco has some great options, they seem to carry organic and natural items quite often. Another option I keep hearing about, but have yet to check out is Trader Joe's - it is not in every area, but it is basically a Aldi for health foods - one brother started Aldi, one started Trader Joe's.

I love hot dogs, liverwurst, and other deli meats, as well as the precooked options in the freezer section. Not that I don't cook from scratch, which I actually mostly do, but I love throwing in the different meats to spice it up, and with the precooked options, give me a break. You may have covered this before, so if you did, just direct me where to go. What specifically is wrong with some of the "no-no" items (nitrates, corn syrups, MSG, etc)? I've read references to what is unhealthy in brief statements by others and yourself but I would love to read in more detail about these ingredients that seem to be in everything.

I found some nitrate free, beef hot dogs at Costco. They taste good, and are a way to feed the family who is still so hooked on them, until I convince them otherwise.

I just bought some egg beaters last week, trying to cut back on fat. It's funny, because I stood their reading the label and wondering if this really was a healthy option.
