Ok, so great. I've watched the movie "Hungry for Change" and I'm Hungry for Change. Awesome....now what?
I have a kitchen FULL of food. Well, not super full, I generally buy a month's worth at a time and the month is coming to a close. I fill in milk and bread and all weekly, but I try to get my major shopping done once a month. So throwing out everything in my cabinets and starting fresh is just not an option.
Since today happens to be the day I had already scheduled a detailed kitchen clean, I am throwing out expired foods and re-arranging. As I'm doing this, I decided to start looking at labels.
All Natural Crepes - expired, forgot I had them after the first time I used them. But hey! Good Choice! All Natural!! Excellent! However, a quick ingredient check showed enriched wheat flour but the nutritional values showed no fiber. ?????? How is that possible. So I looked it up. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself. Plus, there is also Thiamine mononitrate. So, I'm relatively intelligent, and I'm figuring if I see a "natural" ingredient and I don't understand what the word means, maybe it's not natural. Well, it's not. Thiamine mononitrate is essentially fake vitamin B1. Fake vitamins in my all natural crepes. And, oh yeah, almost no nutrients whatsoever. Unless you count the 1g of protein and 79mg of sodium.
Flour Tortillas - expired. Advertises on the front of the package NO CHOLESTEROL 0 GRAMS OF TRANSFAT! It's cool but I can't pronounce most of the ingredients. *sigh*
I'm not going to run through the entire contents of my kitchen here. You know what I'm talking about and you need only pick up a packaged food in your kitchen to prove it. It's disheartening that I'm just putting this all together now.
But on the good side, at least I AM putting it together.
