Groceries

Did my first big shop since back at school from break. I was under the delusion that we were going to a decent grocery store, where i would have access to a variety of healthy foods. To my disheartening surprise.. Food Lion. at least it was the Avent Ferry store which at least as a 6' long, triple shelved, double-sided aisle of healthy food of only a few food items.

So I tried my best under disgruntled, hungry, late-night shopping:

• 1 Carton No Pulp Tropicana 100% Pure and Natural Orange Juice
• 1 Gallon Jar Mt. Olive Kosher Dill Pickles [NC product]
• 16 oz Package Nature's Place Organic Raw hulled sunflower seeds
• 2lb  Bunny-Luv Fresh Organic Carrots
• 1 can thai kitchen all-natural unsweetened first pressing coconut milk
• 12 oz jar mt. olive hot banana pepper rings [NC product (since 1926)]
• 1 can nature's place organic cut green beans
• 15  oz jar bertolli  mushroom alfredo
• 24.5 oz jar (plastic) dole all-natural mandarin oranges in light syrup
• 24.5 oz jar (plastic) dole all-natural yellow cling sliced peaches in light syrup
• 1 can nature's place organic sweet corn
• 1 tall spice jar mccormick organic curry powder
• 1 tall spice jar mccormick organic coarse grind black pepper
• 1 tall spice jar mccormick organic cayenne red pepper
• 8 oz block FL natural pepperjack cheese
• 14 oz package  pictsweet deluxe stir-fry seasoned japanese steakhouse
• 14 oz package  pictsweet deluxe stir-fry seasoned teryaki
• 1 box Triscuit cracked pepper and olive oil baked whole grain wheat crackers
• 24 oz package nature's own 100% natural made with organic flour honey wheat bread
• 2 Del Monte bananas (costa rica)
  

I tried to include about every description on the package, as their wording is important - big difference between claims and actual ingredients. Only the 'organic' labeled items were certified (USDA Organic Standard).I tried my best for being rushed on soneone else's time, and being almost brain dead..

Considering Reforms::

• [D] Minimize unnecessary consumption of resources.
• [E] Eat the best foods possible - raw, organic, local - when possible.
