I was approached by Life Choices Natural Foods, and asked to review their product. Knowing that they offered lines of nutritious and convenient meals, I was excited and I naturally accepted!
About Life Choices:
“In 2002, soon after the birth of our first child, we created Life Choices Natural Foods and two lines of nutritious and convenient meals: organic pizzas and entrees. As our family grew, we realized a need for a better assortment of these nutritious and convenient products along with a need for more kid-friendly products.
With growing success in Canada and after many requests from our US friends, we launched nationally in the US under the brand Living Right Natural Foods. With every new product and line, Life Choices and Living Right use only premium organic and natural ingredients that help contribute to a balanced diet and are great tasting – products the entire family can enjoy in keeping with our mission of: “Making the Right Choices Easy.”
We do strongly believe we are fortunate to have the opportunity to do more than our fair share. Through product creation, design, manufacturing, and distribution, we make every conceivable effort to keep future generations and the planet in mind.”
Organic
Organic food is grown by farmers who only use farming methods that strive for a balance with nature and system sustainability. Their methods focus on natural soil improvement and rely on inherent biological systems to produce the highest quality foods with minimal environmental impact. When you see the “organic” label on food, it means your government has certified that the farm and the food grown there have used techniques that:
- Do not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and soil fumigants.
- Do not use sewage sludge for fertilizer.
- Do not use any form of genetic engineering (plant, animal, or hybrid).
- Do not use artificial growth hormones or antibiotics (in animals).
- Do improve the quality and fertility of the soil.
- Do protect water quality.
- Do reduce soil erosion.
- Do rely on natural biological systems for pest and weed control.
- Do reduce the impact of agriculture on our environment.
- Do produce the highest quality, great tasting food!
Natural
Natural food is food that has been grown using similar processes to organic food (using no additives, no preservatives, no colouring, no hormones, no antibiotics, and no other artificial agents) but that has not been or undertaken certification by the government. When we select natural ingredients, we do our best to ensure that they are of the highest quality and compare to the quality, purity, and sustainability of organic food. In our estimation, a natural food farm should make every attempt to operate like an organic farm!

Our Family’s Review:
Before saying anything, I must explain that when it comes to food our family is EXTREMELY PICKY!! That is to say, everyone BUT me.
I prepared the chicken strips, and served it with a fresh salad, and a side dish of Primavera rice.
- My partner prefers not to participate in the review. I respect that choice.
- My daughter (13 yrs of age) had an interesting reaction: at first she said “oh-oh, it looks healthy”, after she tried it she said ”it’s good but I don’t think that little kids will like it cuz it looks too healthy”
- I liked it because it was quick and easy to make, everyone ate, and I felt more at ease knowing that my we were eating healthier. I like knowing that we’re eating vegetable grain-fed chickens that have been raised without antibiotics. My mind can be at ease now.
…because my daughter is VERY picky, I asked her if she liked it and not what she thought others might think; she said that she liked it (she wasn’t bouncing off the walls or anything like that), she liked it because “now I’m older and actually like to eat healthy-it’s not bad at all, even though it’s healthier for you! I guess if you’re going to eat bad food, it’s better to eat them but in a healthier way!”
I recommend that you give Life Choices a try, especially if you’ve got a picky child at home! Strange but true: MY DAUGHTER ATE IT AND LIKED IT!
