For some time I've planned to do a post on where I buy condiments, meats, Ezekiel Bread, fruits and vegetables and why. 

 

It's been a year and a half since I lost the 100 pounds, and almost two years since I started eating fresh food, clean condiments, and drinking fluoride free filtered water.  I've developed some buying habits about where I shop, what I buy where, and why.  That's what I want to share. Check back often as I fill this list out, piece by piece in updates as I cover purchases I make at WaIMart, S a m s, C o s t c o, B Js, large mega grocers, health food stores, mega Whole Foods type stores, and convenience stores. I'll also cover the items I regularly buy on the Internet.

 

Regarding  WaImart stores......just drop by one and look around.

 

Let's start with WaImart Stores. Most everyone has access to a WaImart-type store. There is almost nothing in their meat department that's not polluted with excessive amounts of sodium, several times more sodium than most grocery stores. WaImart will have double or triple the sodium content of the same brand of chicken at most major grocery stores. Same situation with S a m s. It must be a WaImart requirement to their meat vendors to reduce spoilage. The problem is your liver has to filter all that crap back out once consumed. This Puts the liver under siege and causes weight gain. I don't trust them to not put other egregious chemicals that increase shelf life and enhance presentation so I don't buy meat at large Mart type stores. 

 

The interior food aisles are just a huge island of thoroughly polluted GMO-MSG-HFCS-Aspartame-Splenda-Sugar crack food. When you look into the aisles, lets call them "The Aisles of Doctor Moreau",  many of the people feeding on this crack food are all horribly disfigured in an inflamed, bloated, unhealthy kind of way. The young ones with healthy livers, metabolisms, and growth hormones seem to fare better but show signs of stretching their neck and face from bloating which will never fully reverse. Many of the older ones hobbling around on heel spurs like penguins as the arches of their feet cave in from all the extra weight. Others leaning on the buggy handle as they desperately find ways to shift some of the weight from their knees to furniture or equipment. Others are on the WaImart electric carts, so fat and lethargic they can't walk anymore. Most of the kids so buzzed on HFCS, MSG, Aspartame, and sugar they're doing acrobatics in the aisles. Other kids walking like zombies next to their parents obviously drugged into submission for ADD and ADHD which counters the side effects of HFCS, MSG, GMO food, Aspartame, Splenda, and sugar. I walk around these kids cautiously like I would a rottweiler or pit bull. And finally beer guts everywhere (even infants) from HFCS metabolized by the liver just like an alcohol calorie, without the buzz. Look around, it's all there to see.

 

By the way, I'm not making fun of these people as I was right their with them just two years ago. I lost 50 years struggling with weight issues by not realizing the food supply itself was a HUGE part of the problem. Maybe you won't have to lose that many years before you catch on. This is just another exercise to help you connect the DOTS.

 

In all fairness....of course this is indicative of most major grocers to one degree or the other. It's just WaImart is particularly one-sided on the 'your health doesn't matter in our pursuit of profit'. 

 

These polluted food islands in most all grocery stores are microcosms of what America wants to buy. More neuro-excito-toxins, sugar, sodium, and starch on top of as much Genetically Modified corn and soy as they can. Just about everything on your plate and 80%+ of the processed food supply. It's called addictive behavior and it's obvious it's part of their marketing strategy at the expense of your health and looks. They've studied this addictive behavior on mice, in controlled groups, and in large Research and Development labs. Does that disgust you?

 

I'd say way less than 2 or 3% of food and condiments at any WaImart could be considered clean. WaImart will even put "Natural Ingredients" (code-word for MSG) in their brand of Stevia packets. I saw that and immediately thought "Really WaImart?" and just shook my head. So it just becomes a big trust issue.

 

Here's a list of items I buy at WaImart:

 

*frozen 12 oz (used to be 14 oz) $5 bags of cooked shrimp

*frozen strawberries

*frozen blueberries

*frozen vegetables

fruit and vegetables (only occasionally as I don't trust what they've probably done to increase shelf life)

Mrs. Dash no sodium seasoning (dozen or more)

Stevia green bag (not WaIMarts brand)

light butter

eggs

evaporated milk canned

Libby's Pumpkin 15 oz can

cinnamon, ginger, cloves

pepper

minced garlic

minced onion

garlic powder

onion powder

coffee

black tea

 

and maybe a handful of items in their 4 foot "Whole Food" gondola

 

* anything fresh frozen should only read one ingredient with no additives. Frozen shrimp needs to be rinsed until the water runs clear.
