Veteran Mommy emailed me the picture of the warning sign after I posted my previous blog! Thank you! Thank you!
It amazes that people will still eat there KNOWING that they are taking such a huge risk! I guess if you eat there now after being warned, you can't complain when your diagnosed with CANCER or your child has a birth defect! I get so frustrated........WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

PROFILE
I am a mom of four young girls. I love to run and be active. In March of 2007 I tested positive for BRCA1, a known breast and ovarian cancer causing gene. I met with genetic counselors and was given the advice to have an elective mastectomy and oophorectomy to ensure my health. I knew that was the only way. We decided to have one more baby before the surgeries. We had twin girls in October 2008. I had many sleepless nights just waiting and wondering when the cancer would strike. In May 2009, after reading about a whole foods-plant based diet, ("The China Study", and "Eat to Live"). I decided I will not have the elective surgeries. I will use nutrition as my drug of choice. It's empowering to have this knowledge, and to be in charge of my family's health! I am so excited to learn more and share with you!
