Trying to Eat Healthy? Good Luck at the Supermarket
Now, I’m not trying to point fingers, and we all know that grocery stores carry what sells, but for those of us who are not in the majority and would prefer to eat less processed foods and questionable ingredients, it can be very difficult to find something to eat at the grocery store.
After we went through our home and removed every food that contained sugar last week, the shelves are almost bare and we are having to get creative with the whole ingredients we do have. Going shopping, it seems as though even things that should be pure and whole are adultered in some way to contain something I don’t want my family eating.
For instance, since I had to give up my coffee creamer, I have switched to plain old heavy cream. It tastes just as great and is healthy for me, or at least better than the processed stuff. I find that I have to very carefully check the labels though, because many of them contain multiple chemicals, and not just cream.
If you want any processed food at all, you have to be very, very careful about reading the labels. It is becoming increasingly challenging to navigate the technical terms that can be found on just about every food that has been even minimally processed.
Arm yourself with knowledge, take your time at the store, and be careful with processed food. It may be a struggle, but it is worth it to know that you are buying only foods with whole, healthy ingredients.
