Real Food Shopping Spree

This challenge was to find real, unchanged food in the local grocery store. Although it sounds simple, when limited to only the middle aisles, there are few real foods to be found. Here's several I managed to find that were unadulterated:

1. Maple Syrup: although maybe not organic and natural, it was unchanged and didn't contain anything foreign.













2. Black Beans: Nothing was added to these, just beans straight from the farm.








 


 3. Parmesan Cheese: No additives or health claims, just regular Parmesan cheese without any changes.













For comparison, I included two products that would seem good for you and normal, and make health claims (one of the food rules to avoid). These are exactly the kind of things that Michael Pollan suggests to avoid in In Defense of Food.

  1. Check your parmesan cheese, my guess is it contains cellulose powder and potassium sorbate to prevent caking and protect flavoring.
