Good thing she didn't go to Minas Gerais. Most of our food is made from scratch, but that's not all, most of our food is processed in a different way. How different you ask? I'll give my city as an example. Every morning the milk guy used to go by, talk about fresh milk, the taste is fantastic. We also buy a lot from the local farmers that produce legumes, vegetables, meats and fruits. All organic and not small portions either. Now, big cities are gaining weight. Why you ask? Fast food. Make your food from scratch my friends and see how much better it'll make you feel and the taste is a plus.

Want to know a little strange thing. My daughter eats a Brasilian candy called Pacoca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pa%C3%A7oca (The corked shaped ones are her favorites)). It's made out of peanuts and yes she's allergic to peanuts. How do I know she's allergic to it? A few years back, I bought a Snickers bar and when I got home at around 9pm she saw it and took a small bite. She didn't like it, but after she went to bed, I went into her room like I usually do at around 12 and 1am to find my daughter swelling up in various places such as her forehead, back, belly and legs. Well, I woke her up, gave her some Claritin and rushed her to the hospital. There they told me she had an allergic reaction to the Snickers bar, but I told them (The doctors) it never happened with another candy made out of peanuts from Brasil. They thought it was very strange and I think something is up with a lot of the foods we buy here. My question is, could it be just the peanuts in the Snickers bar or something else that caused the allergic reaction?
