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]

Sweetheart.[b] Most people associate eating healthy moreso with reducing fat and sodium consumption than they do with the number of ingredients on a label.[/b] It's still overprocessed junk food for the most part (and their produce is laughable). The wine and beer selection is eclectic, I'll give them that. But, really, you acknowledge that it's high-fat and high-sodium and still call it a "big step up" from fast food? That's the biggest complaint about fast food -- that it's fatty and high in sodium.

You're rationalizing or struggling with cognitive dissonance or something here. But don't delude yourself into thinking that ready-to-eat meals from Trader Joes have any more virtue than say, a burger and fries from Wendy's.[/quote]

That's a very 1990s way of eating.  Not the PP, but I agree that fewer, simpler ingredients is healthier (for me) than "low fat." [/quote]
