For those of you who do not know a polemic is "a discussion, often heated, in which a difference of opinion is expressed". Also known as an altercation, argument , to bicker, to clash, contention, controversy, debate, disagreement, dispute, fight, quarrel, squabble or tiff. I will have a few of these with my family as I try to complete my mission.
What is that mission? To go completely preservative free. In today's fast food, boxed meal mayhem it seems like an impossible task for any one who does not have hundreds to spend on groceries each week. So here are my guidelines:
1) I will keep my spending on groceries UNDER $100 per week to feed a family of 4. This means I am going to have to get creative and learn about the resources I can use around me.
2) At first I will be cheating a little by using the bottle of ketchup, mustard, ect. But once it is gone, it is gone forever. I can not buy anything that is prepackaged with the exception of raw, unflavored meats. No cold cuts, hot dogs, sausage, ect unless I make them myself.
3) I will only use raw sugar. No over processed, bleached white sugar for this family.
