I am Rainbow-Bitten
Last night I got Rainbow-Bit.
There’s something about this tender heavenly treat that I just cannot get enough of. Actually, treat I wouldn’t call it . Treats are cold watermelon slices on a hot day, or a bowl of frozen yogurt after dinner. A treat is something you feel so lucky to be devouring…knowing this little delight will be gone in only a few short moments, remembering to savor every bite. A treat is not something that was made from a box – something that instructs to ‘just add milk!’ – this is no treat – this is plain wrong.
But, however wrong it may seem, I may just be angry at the fact that I’ve been Rainbow-Bitten! Bitten by this oh-so-unhealthy “treat”. It’s one of the few foods I cannot resist when tempted. What I am typing of is the ‘Rainbow bit’ cake mix by Duncan Hynes. I would consider myself very health conscious, and I am aware of the impacts certain foods will have on my body before it enters my mouth. So I am highly aware that these boxed cake mixes contain zero (more like NEGATIVE) nutritional benefits. If I were to live on a diet of rainbow bit….(thinking dreamy thoughts) I would turn into a unicorn jumping through rainbows in the sky… No, Rachel… get your head out of those clouds.
I know cake mixes are nothing but a box of bleached sugars and wheat, tons of additives that cause cancer, behavioral issues and hyperactivity in children. Did you know there’s an ingredient called Xanthan Gum? It’s used in the mix to enhance the texture and for thickening – it’s also used in laxatives… so if you ever decide to stay in on a Friday night – bake a cake – and eat it all to yourself – you could be spending the remainder of that night on the toilet. ha!
I’ve been trying to find a cure for this bite – in other words..I’m trying to find some real dirt on this like it’s made from snake skin dust, or the colorful bits are made from storm bugs in Africa. Anything disgusting enough for me to to turn my back on this box in the supermarket. Disgusting enough to refuse a piece…pieces…the whole thing.
Would love to hear some real good dirt on these boxed cake mixes.. aside from the obvious…sugar – white, wheat – white, dextose, starches, dextrose………on and on.

How can something so unappealing be so good! ? !
Still looks so great even with additives etc
of course it does… all the florescent colours on top the obviously moist cake – <3
This is basically how I feel about 100 things right now…I KNOW they’re bad for me and I really really really don’t want to eat them…BUT….I have yet to develop the strength to resist…I’m working on it though, I’m working….good luck on finding your dirt, you may need it, those pictures look delicious…
haha thanks!
I know it’s so hard… easier if these foods just weren’t available. We can do it though!! Need to be strong!!
Rayannsom do you have any idea of where on the Internet I should look for nutritional foods that would assist my body in healing my current health problems. I see so many anti-cancer diets that I don’t know which ones are reputable and which are quack-mac nuggets.
I try to eat fresh veggies as much as possible I eat a lot of brown rice and cereal bars.I do know that these probably help.But I am worried about meats.I know that chicken and beef are loaded with hormones and antibiotics. Many places bleach the chicken secretly.
Maybe I should try to not eat meat? I am afraid that I might not get all my amino acids though.I worry seafood has mercury
If you have any other ideas of what I might try I would really appreciate your nutritional consultation.

Hey Bryan,
I was told that ‘healing with whole foods’ by Paul Pitchford is an excellent resource for healing the body.
If I were you, I’d start on a completely raw diet. I’ve heard several cancer survivors credit this to their recovery.
Definitely look into it Bryan

Thank Rachel, I am going to buy that book on Amazon. I appreciate your consultation. Please bill me.
That looks SOOO good!! x
