Why I Spend 30 Minutes in a Grocery Store, And Have Nothing to Show for it.

The term All Natural in my opinion is just another bogus marketing ploy. However, it actually helps me easily make decisions on what NOT to buy very quickly. I don’t even have to pick up the over-processed piece of garage, I can simply scan the shelf and say: “Garbage”. Look at the FDA regulations for All Natural: …. oh wait, there are none.

What this boils down to is the fact that every prospective food item for purchase must endure an on-site label analyzation. Thus resulting in a 30 minute visit yielding 2 items purchased — carrots and celery grown in fertilizer, pesticides, and travelling thousands of miles to get to my grocery store. Grocery shopping fail.

My goals are to inform the consumer whom are active organic consumers and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Maybe you are obese and struggle even to twist open a jar of mayonnaise. Whatever your reasons for reading this, let’s figure out what the hell is in the food you are eating and try to do something about it.
