Three Photos Above – Brunch
 Today!
–
As I kick off my birthday week (for #57) I am anticipating at least a few celebratory meals out with friends and family.
– Today’s brunch was the first.

–
Given so many people ask “But what is there left to eat?” in response to the lab test results identified through the Lead Safe Mama, LLC Community Collaborative Laboratory Testing Initiative — I am going to do my best to share what I choose when eating at a restaurant or cafe (for celebrations or every day), using the meals from this week (my birthday week), as examples.
–
These three photos are from this morning’s birthday brunch.
–
While you might not agree with everything I choose for myself, I do my best to have balanced meals while also avoiding foods that test positive for high levels of heavy metals (and especially avoiding foods that might test positive for any ppb-range detectable level of Lead, Cadmium, or Mercury).
–
When in Europe I make exceptions for bread and some other foods, specifically when that food is relatively a small portion compared to the other foods in the meal (Organically grown, European grains generally test lower for heavy metals – and specifically Cadmium and Lead – than American or Canadian grains).
–
If you have questions about any of this there are lots of related articles on the Lead Safe Mama website. Start by checking out the website menu, which is linked near the top of every page of the site. There is also a search bar near the top of every page of the website (that you can use to search our more-than-5,000 articles!)

Here’s to 57 and beyond!

What I want most for my birthday this year:
To raise the remaining $23,000 to pay Lead Safe Mama, LLC’s current legal bills (to help us see justice served in the ongoing legal matters).
