		<description><![CDATA[It all started a month ago, when my husband and I decided to eat simply, local and organic.  We also stopped eating grains, dairy, legumes and nightshades. While it sounds drastic, it actually makes it very simple.  What&#8217;s left to eat?  Wholesome, natural food. We eat avocados, nuts (no peanuts which are legumes), fruit (dried [...]]]></description>
