MMkkk let's be honest...

hubby is gone with the army so much, I have to just keep doing it.

I didn't know they tested for that? cool for you, I mean to stop doing it.  

I ate cold cuts, not all the time, but every now and then. Was not even aware of the big issue until I came across it in a baby book. Tried the steaming and then eating it but that kinda defeated the purpose of cold* cuts adn was just not the same. As the others mentioned, I would not be eating it from a buffet or potluck that had been sitting out but think something you buy fresh from the deli to serve soon is fine...watch for the sodium and nitrates too because that can cause swelling but otherwise...I say all things in moderation..with exception of alcohol and drugs of course! LOL

I'm having major problems with this too. I CRAVE Jason's Deli and Quiznos. I've eaten it and then felt guilty, but this is my 4th child and I never worried about deli lunchmeat before. Is it really that common here in the states?

Sorry a little late in responding...but yea, I am guilty too...I ate it :) I also had starbucks and like one soda everyday.... :)

You can have it if it is bought from the deli and not prepackeged
