It should not be surprising to learn that Americans now spend a much bigger share of their grocery money on processed foods, which includes things like frozen dinners, canned soups and snacks. We spend much less on meat, largely because meat is much cheaper than it was 30 years ago.
Why even boxed cereal is being touted as 'health food' these days and its not. Kellogg is not 'feeding America' with nutritional food or even safe food. It is shocking to find out that most people don't know that and still even more shocking that most people will buy a 4 dollar box of cereal or bag of snack food over a lean package of meat: beef/poultry/pork.
The Brainy Gourmet has always advocated using food staples/basics. And she still does. So, build on those and start eating right! Check the side margin of this blog for the list of basic food items and check the Brainy webpage "Brainy Tips" to see firsthand what you should be spending your money on and have in your pantry.
