Raw Honey
I went to a craft fair back in December or early January, and there was guy there selling handmade soap (which I just LOVE!) and also locally made raw honey. I'm not sure if he made both or was just selling either on behalf of someone, but that's not the point. The point is I've never liked the way honey tasted -- or other things, like very dark chocolate -- until I started the paleo/primal way of eating. Even conventional honey tastes good to me, but this raw honey is great, as is this other bottle of organic honey I purchased from a different store. Now, the reason this little post came about is because I saw the raw honey bottle in the frige. I actually forgot it was in there (hence why I purchased the organic honey from a conventional store). So I decided to look honey up on the internet because this raw honey didn't look like honey -- it looked sort of crystallized and rather like wax XD
Anyhoo, honey is pretty awesome. It can last literally centuries in the right conditions!

I don't eat honey every day, but I keep stuff like the honey, dark chocolate squares, and Larabars on hand -- especially when at work on the trains! -- so I am not enticed into eating crap. Mainly at work, this happens, because I am the faux-bartender onboard Amtr@k trains. When it is really busy, it is far too easy to grab a Twix candy bar (king sized, naturally) off of the counter and shove it into my face. At least with the Larabars or dark chocolate squares, I get my craving fix and/or need for food FAST without compromising my diet much. Intermittent fasting isn't really something I can do at work, because I lift a few hundred pounds of stuff onto the trains before and after my run, as well as being on my feet pretty much the entire time, all while trying to make food AND try to keep my balance :)
