I don't remember anyone telling me stories when I was young. I was an early reader and and early writer and pretty much found my own stories. A story from my childhood is that my dad found me under the

 Eat More Nutrition or Eat Less Crap? I am getting ready to publish two books on Amazon Kindle. They are related, but opposite: #### Eat More Nutrition Tells you how to find, prepare, and eat healthier food. #### Eat Less Crap Tells you how to avoid the toxins found in the food supply.
