[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can have a 100% crap diet from any grocery store, including Whole Foods.

And you can have 100% healthy diet from any grocery store (read grocery store, not a convenience store).

It's not about labels, [b]it's about INGREDIENTS. You should be able to recognize and pronounce all of them[/b], and there shouldn't be a ton, for most of the foods you buy.

Fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, some dairy if you do dairy. I do take shortcuts (I use canned beans instead of fresh) and if I'm at Giant I will do vegetarian meals that week. I buy chicken or fish from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Same with bread - I like the fresh baked bakery bread, though Giant offers that too. Bread on the shelves is filled with preservatives.[/quote]

I agree with this up to a point, but I think there's been a tremendous over emphasis on this recently. Stick to the basics about calories, fat, sodium, sugar. Those levels are far more important than whether or not a preservative exists. [/quote]
