Just like in grade school, I carry a lunch bag – with apples, and a cooked meal (brown rice, asparagus, and sardines, flavored with hot sauce). I avoid prepared foods as much as possible.
And, in general, I am suspicious of any food labelled “diet.” Instead, I prepare my own food as much as possible. I can control that, for the most part (note than some raw chicken in the supermarket has been injected with salt and water – for shame!)
Whole foods has cage free, organic chicken. Mmmm you can taste the difference!
Funny you should mention; I bought some yesterday. But not everyone can afford that. My dear friend CL keeps asking me to write about organics. I was amazed ro recently read an article that says that organic chickens have less salmonella bacteria than conventional chickens. I guess the conventional chickens are given antibiotics since they lay in their own $#!+ all day – and even then, antibiotics don’t do as well as nature’s way.
This was one of the first thing I learned from following your posts. I always carry my lunch bag with my food.
