I loved reading this! Oh, and also... I'm like your mum, haha I take plenty of supplements. I buy them in the Bio Shop for extra safety, as I'm sometimes suspicious about what goes into these supplements. I eat healthy, too. But in my mind, these supplements give me that extra push

Otis slightly unrelated, I guess, but I was thinking the other day about how I've been conditioned since childhood to put certain things in the fridge and leave other things outside of it. You said something about how grapefruits shouldn't be in the fridge, or that this was the first time you saw grapefruits in a fridge? I remember my Mom putting grapefruits in the fridge as a kid. But at the grocery story they are in a non-refrigerated section. I really don't know. My wife sometimes puts cereal in the fridge. I have no idea what got into her. LOL. Maybe I'm wrong on that one, too, though. Thanks for liking my Note yesterday. Will subscribe. I really love learning more about food and cooking.

Are your parents Italian by any chance? Though their cuisine is simple, the amount of pills and potions Italians like to take is baffling to me (a Dutch person).

I'm more like you I think, I just swap out some carbs for veggies when I'm a bit sniffy and call it a day. That said, the scientist in me gets very excited by a fridge full of tiny brown bottles! And also, I'm craving kimchi now.
