I definitely think about this all the time. I try to stick with fresh vegetables from the farmers market (even though I have no idea what pesticides are used on them) and I stick with a smaller grocery store that get their meats locally. Prior to being diagnosed with Graves’ and going through the roller coaster I did not do this. I did what most single mom’s with 3 kids do… I went for convenience. Whatever I could eat and feed my children that was fast and convenient which included a lot of drive-thru’s. Now I look back and wonder if I would not have spent years eating like that if I wouldn’t have this nasty disease or if my body would have handled it differently.
