weres the good foods???

Does any of you notice the rule of shopping around the outside of the isles? It is we're all our healthy foods are placed. I have a rule of thumb and I teach it to everyone I know.

So I will share it here as well, since we're a family of a sort anyways.:) ok the next time your in the grocery store avoid any center isle, walk the outside isle and you will see this is we're all our fresh meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, fruits and such. I have been doing this for years I am Mr mom and sort of a old school health nut. I love cooking and come up with some killer dishes loaded with protein. I was taught old school Italian, I just have to avoid the pasta :( 90% of my food comes from the out side of the isles.
After I had kids I didn't want them growing up to be fatties or unhealthy so as a father I paid attention to what I was buying. Well going down the center isles was always a waist of time because that's were all the processed crap was and its horrible on people especially US!
Give it a try next time your in the store. Eat healthy lift and live on.

I'm starting to notice those evil marketeers are placing the Twinkies and other sweets on the end caps and in the outer isle on stands. They get so tempting when you've been on a long run of dieting. My kids are so used to me sticking to a diet they rarely ask for anything sweet. But when I do finally have a treat it's a true treat for us all.

It really is! You don't get tempted by the evil boxes of sodium and sugars. It's easier to get in and out. Now every now and then I'll hit the frozen food section when there's a hottie looking into the icecream freezer ;).
