The VERY WFPB SOS-free lifestyle
The journey from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to WFPB SOS-free can look very limited and lacking to the uninitiated. But those of us who have joined the ranks find it anything but that. It’s true there isn’t as much to choose from, but what isn’t being chosen is more like the bath water we want to throw out while keeping the baby. What's included in this lifestyle is everything that is beneficial.
We’ve been WFPB for 35 years and it’s taken numerous forms, each becoming more free of additives and processed ingredients. We found that the “cleaner” it has become, the better we like the taste and the better we feel. So, to us, there is no lack or limitation, only better every day.
