Holy Toledo eating clean costs a lot! Me, my sister and buddies went down state today. We hit Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Papa Joe's and Penzey's (spice store). It seems redundant going to 3 different markets, but they each have different things to offer. Yikes I spent some money. It was a beautiful day for a little road trip. And we had lunch at Chipotle Grill ....mmm delish!
After our little excursion today the rule for today is pretty appropriate ...
RULE 11: Avoid foods you see advertised on television.
More that two thirds of food advertising is spent on promoting processed foods! So if you avoid products with big ad budgets you will be avoiding edible foodlike substances. When have you ever seen an ad for lettuce, broccoli or green beans??? Now you will see a few whole foods advertised, like walnuts, almonds or prunes, but they aren't very common, and we're smart enough to not avoid those good foods I think. Fake health claims and faulty food science have made supermarkets very treacherous places to shop for real food...the next two rules will help with that.
Well off to play and watch the boob tube...ciao!
