I’m not consistent about eating living foods.  Breakfast this morning was coffee with milk, 2 slices of buttered whole wheat toast, some home-grown cantaloupe, and a Skinny Cow fudge bar.  The cantaloupe was fresh from the garden, but disappointing.  It was both mushy and gritty in texture.  What’s with that? The fudge bar was...
