Hey, lovely fam! If you had a blast watching this video, can we get a big, warm THUMBS UP? It means the world to me and helps with the KZbin algorithm! I'm all ears for your suggestions on future videos if you have video ideas you would like to see. Sending you lots of love from Wisconsin✨

[@TheHappyCaravan]

Love you guys!

I love watching your videos. I am really obese. I'm trying really hard to turn my life around and be healthier and lose weight. I was in a really bad car accident and am in a wheelchair. No excuse just l9w mobility. I get great ideas watching you and your sweet family. I always thought, why would they sell things that would hurt us. I was so naive. Now I'm trying to turn it around and get away from the sugar and other bad ingredients. It is not easy but this helps. Thank you.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your story with me. It's incredibly inspiring to see your determination to make positive changes in your life, despite the challenges you've faced. I'm honored to be a part of your journey towards better health. Keep up the amazing work, and remember that you're not alone in this! Sending love from Wisconsin!✨

[@mama2boys123]

I've been watching just a few months. I grew up on a farm and always had our own beef. I smiled at the "egg noodles" too. You would have loved how my generation of mothers and grandmothers cooked. Not sure if you have space but a garden world be amazing! Even freezing your own vegetables is so easy and nothing added.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you so much It's always great to hear from viewers who can connect with the content. And I totally agree, there's something special about cooking with ingredients from your own garden! That is our goal this year! We have 2 very big black walnut trees so it's a little tricky but we are planning things out. How wonderful to be raised on a farm and have such a connection to your food, it's something that has been lost. Have a wonderful Tuesday! ✨

[@lgootee7]

Amazing as always, love ❤

It’s amazing how you can still eat your favorite food WITH clean ingredients. Thank you, for helping me learn to read labels. I’ve already started to make food swaps for my family and I. I would love to see a meal prep video, healthy snack swaps for children, etc. ❤

I'm working on both videos this month, with meal prep videos coming weekly. I did post an Aldi haul video with 21 snack ideas. Swap ideas are going to be fun to share!

I just have to say everyone eat what you want. If you’re a kid , eat what your parents provide. I just am not eating lamb, it’s no religious experience or anything, I’m just not eating lamb. Also I have one more question, is all that cheese good for you? Just wondering?

[@michelleliquoriross3790]

New subscriber here, lovely video. Thank you for providing substantial guidance on lable reading and clean eating. Well done. I'm curious about your nails; they are lovely. We absorb chemicals through our nails, just like our skin. This is not a criticism, just an observation. Self-care is very important and uniquely individual. 😉

Maybe you can do a video on how not to be wasteful. Every time i go to Costco, i spend at least $200+ easily. I never seem to be able to get through everything before I start dumping moldy things out. I probably consume only 50% of what I buy and the rest gets moldy or goes bad and has to be tossed out. I can't eat the same thing over and over again so getting variety is necessary :) What can I do to improve my odds and still get good variety? And thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot from them

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Yes! I can absolutely do that video for you! I'll start working on that as soon as possible for you. I get what you are saying. Many bulk items have a short shelf life, and nothing is worse than throwing food out; things are so expensive now! I appreciate you sharing this with me. I'm so super glad you are here with us. I hope February is going well for you. Also, if you want me to address certain things, I'll gladly cover those items.🩷

Does Peanut oil have GMO in it? Thank you for sharing your Costco haul.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching! It's always crucial that we stay informed about the ingredients in our food. Peanut oil can sometimes be made from genetically modified peanuts, so it's best to check the label or research. I'm glad you enjoyed the Costco haul and appreciate your support!

[@Jverburgh]

Thanks for the information.@@naturalsimpleliving

[@malinzetterqvist3422]

In Sweden I've never seen GMO foods.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear that Sweden is doing an excellent job of keeping GMO foods at bay. GMO food is everywhere in the United States. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

[@amandaneal1556]

Great attitude to food consumption. Love your lifestyle. Not judging but where I live children would not be allowed to take plush toys, books or other toys off the shelves to carry around the store to play with without buying. No matter how respectful it's just not done. Also they do not sit in the carts with shoes where food goes in. Are these things normal in the USA?

[@suzanneford1571]

Part of the empty shelves have to do with weather, with roads closed trucks can’t get through

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Thank you for pointing that out! It's easy to forget how weather can impact our everyday lives, including access to essential supplies. Let's hope the roads clear up soon! I should know that seeing my husband is in the food industry. Have a wonderful evening! Thank you for being here!✨

I love those Rotisserie chickens! I don’t understand the value with organic, just the price. Same with keto diets. Avocado mayo? Only Hellman’s. See Pam, you read those labels thoroughly. We don’t.😫 unfortunately. I know what goes in our bodies. I just forget about it. My husband loves beef jerky, but is there a difference? From what I notice, you go to Costco more than is here in Florida. Ours is 30 miles away. Unfortunately, I don’t drive. My husband can’t drive far of brain spells. Our son will take us but he has his schedule for work/school. No Trader Joe’s near us. Aldi 30 miles away. Pam you should run a camp on eating healthy.🤔 Thanks for sharing.

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! You are not the only one who loves those rotisserie chickens; they are super popular. Organic and even better pasture-raised chickens are often considered better choices for several reasons: No Synthetic Chemicals, Organic and pasture-raised chickens are typically raised without the use of antibiotics or hormones, organic and pasture-raised chickens also have higher levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Better living conditions and the list goes on. The Rotisserie chicken is commercial and loaded with sugar and ingredients that could harm you. If you can't afford organic and can only afford commercially raised chickens, buying that over the rotisserie chicken and cooking it yourself would be way better. The Keto Diet helps you reduce sugars and carbs that are harmful to your body. I believe in a balanced diet high in whole foods and variety, but I also follow a lot of the principles of the keto diet. The Avocado mayo does not have seed oils and is a much better choice for your health. If you read the labels of beef jerky, you will see things like MSG or a form of it, animals that are raised on GMOs. Every jerky is different when shopping in the marketplace. Where do you grocery shop in Flordia? I am so glad you are here with us!

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you so much for your support and kind words! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying my videos and finding them helpful. The difference between nuts and nut oil lies in the extraction process. While nuts are whole foods, nut oil is a process that can be harmful. Never hesitate to ask me questions. I love chatting! Also, not all nut oil is bad🩷

Wondering why your own family leaves so many comments in the comments section? Helps with channel?

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! My family is very supportive, and my kids try to be the first to watch and comment on the videos. It's like a competition, haha. All comments help increase engagement and show support for the channel. I'm always humbled to read the comments left on our channel; great question! Thank you so much for being here!

[@UserHunca]

People are free to make their own choices, including what they eat. Some families are restricted to Dollar Tree or Dollar General meals. Maybe you didn’t notice, but the economy is trashed. The Mills Family here on KZbin is a widower with a LOT of kids, & you would be horrified at what they eat. They have access to ONE grocery store where they live. Americans are doing the best they can; many working more than one job to provide. I don’t put chemicals on my nails, or breathe in those fumes. I don’t put chemicals all over my face. You do. CHOICES. Freedom. I admire your family, but the preachiness is getting to me. I can predict what you buy each trip out as it rarely changes. No chips for months? That accomplishes WHAT, exactly?

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your perspective. I completely respect the diversity of choices and situations people face. I stay on top of the economy and have since I can remember. I don't get horrified by what people eat; I know everyone is doing what they must, but I also know that some really want to make a change, and not everyone is restricted in their diets or incomes, so I share what I have studied and learned these past 21 years. I share out of love and compassion; I wish the food companies would stop selling what they do, but it's profits over people. I also am just sharing our family journey. I have shopped this way for 20 years. There are ways to eat clean and healthier on any budget, and I may share that in the future; the thing is, everyone has a different budget. Is there content that you would like to see? I appreciate you being here and thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Have a wonderful evening.✨

[@63dkw]

At the end of the day it is their channel, not yours, so they select the content. Most people understand that if they cannot afford the best option, they can at least look at better options within their budget , especially with the information given on this channel. It isn’t preaching, it is speaking the truth.

@@naturalsimplelivingwe have worked so hard and cut expenses in many areas to afford to buy local, grass fed, organic beef/pork and chicken.

You are all assuming a lot of things and then throwing your assumed opinion around like confetti at a wedding. It is okay to have an opinion if you have all the details and you don’t. A smaller highly edited video does not give you the entire story and I cannot believe that people cannot work that out for themselves. It is her child, not yours!
