That's interesting about the organic fruits...I don't think I ever would have thought about that. We just started using a Brita water filter...so I use that now to refill my water bottles. The bottles are easier to transport with the walker that I use. But what I have noticed is that there really is a difference in taste with the different bottled waters out there. I'm guessing it has to do with the way different companies purify the water or something?

But I definitely think you're right about the palate thing. I grew up with my parents never cooking so all we ever ate was fast food or tv dinners (unless it was a holiday or we ate out at a restaurant). But now that I have gotten used to what my boyfriend calls "real food" I don't think I will be able to go back. I have to admit there are times where I don't really feel up to "making" something or cutting up vegetables and I wish I could just pop a tv dinner in the microwave because that is SO easy...but I've been goood and I know that in the long run this is much better for me.
