Stick to the perimeter

As I was grocery shopping once again this morning (I think I make a run to Publix every other day) it brought to mind something I wanted to share. I know some of you have told me you are trying to eat healthier, lose weight, etc. as I know I am. Here's a good tip - if you shop the perimeter and stay away from the middle of the grocery store, you'll be eating much healthier. Think about it or look the next time you're at your grocery store - the middle aisles are where most of the pre-packaged, quick to make, overly processed food are. The perimeter generally has the dairy products, fresh meats and seafood as well as fresh produce. I would bet if we all stayed away from shopping the center and stuck to the perimeter, we'd all be healthier and better off. And if you have an organic section, I highly recommend it. I also recommend you watch Food Inc. if you haven't already, I think you'll feel differently about how and what you eat. There's my two cents of the day for what it's worth.
