Natural Products Expo West

Last Sunday, we went to the Natural Product Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center.

There were so many products to see.....

This is one of them that Eric stopped by to see, he seemed so interested in the beautiful wooden mill.

There were many books for sale about food. These are the ones I bought.

I think I'm going to be more careful about the foods we usually eat and I want to learn more about it through the books.
