Um.... No, not really. Trader Joes food is terrible and terrible for you. It's basically a junk food store. Llike a 7-11 for hipsters, as someone put it recently.[/quote]

Disagree. If you're looking for low-fat options, yeah, it's not that healthy. And you do have to look at sodium content, because some are high. But - the ingredients list is short and understandable and not filled with chemicals, corn syrup, and preservatives. So yeah, it's not the best, but it is a big step up from fast food.[/quote]

I 100% agree with the PP. My husband has a very restricted diet and needs to avoid all preservatives (except salt and sugar) and TJs is the best place for us to find foods without a lot of added gunk. Of course we have to eat it up quickly eze it because otherwise it goes bad within a day or two....Also TJs food doesn't have a lot of artificial dyes and flavorings, THQ, or transfatty acids.

What does your husband's doctor/nutritionist say about this, just curious? Someone put him on the restricted diet -- so what's their professional opinion?[/quote]

My husband's dietitian thinks Trader Joe's foods or any foods without certain preservatives are an excellent choice for his diet.[/quote]
