We want to hear from you.
If you're reading labels and making conscious choices about what you put in your Fresh Mouths, tell us how you feel.
Does it make a difference? Are you happier? Do you have more energy? Are you sick less?
Have you achieved a Zen-like mind-body relationship with the universe?
What's the biggest change in your life?
If you're not even a little Fresh Mouth, why? Too much money? Too much trouble? Long live Krispy Kreme?
Let us know!

We'll start. As a family, we're healthier in every way ... moods are better and we haven't had a "sick" child visit at the doctor in months. If we do get a cold or some onset of a sniffle, we kick it better and faster. Our immune systems seem notched up. A happier, healthier family out of this experiment. That's the sweetest success.
And you all look spectacular!!!
Lots of hugs and kisses from Boulder!
I have been vegetarian for almost 3 years and it has been almost 2 years since I really cleaned up the other processed junk in my diet, and I don't know how I went on for so long eating the way that I did. I completely underestimated what a difference a change in diet would make on my entire body, mood and well being. It makes perfect sense now...duh!
Today I really notice how much better I feel with my new diet after I eat something I shouldn't or eat rich foods in excess (ice cream). It feels like a bad hangover that takes days to go away.
I feel better, personally, if I eat lots of vegetables and lean protein and avoid flour, baked goods (sad) and pasta.
Processed foods, thanks to my lovely and talented wife, are pretty rare. It took me a long time to figure this out; I'd been stict vegetarian, and before that, a more or less normal American eater.
During my vegetarian times, I didn't really lose weight and I was often ill - perhaps a function of having young petri dishes, er, children coming home with whatever bacteria. God knows what my son eats away from the house, but, perhaps because we don't have processed junk around the house, he's pretty lean.
Eating fresh food does seem to make me feel better, but it's hard to quantify. Feeling kinda lousy from maxing out on, say, muffins and then a pasta lunch, is a lot easier to identify.
Thank you, thank you for this blog! I have been looking for a change and this blog has sparked my interest. I am starting to look at the ingredient list of our current food in the kitchen. I am already in shock over the ingredient list for squeezable yogurt and cream for coffee! YIKES! Thanks you for the time and effort that you have put into this blog. I am ready for change.
