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]

So you have discussed the stock at Trader Joes specifically with the dietician? Or are you just making shit up now?

Trader Joes food is filled with MSG anyway. At least house-label food is.[/quote]
