Smith immediately knew that she
wanted to cut out artificial ingredi-

"It made me want to cry to think

the added expense of more fresh and
homemade food.
"It's sad but it's more expensive to
serve real food," she said.

more expensive brands and making
some food from scratch rather than
from mixes, which she says in time
