What I found interesting about adopting a diet was how it changed my perception of shopping for food. When I now walk into a modern well-stocked supermarket, it's shocking (now) that the vast majority of their inventory is useless and harmful (or at least to me). Vast isles of delicious utter crap. Crap in bags, crap in cans, colorful packaged crap wherever you turn. Food that will kill you given time enough.

Is there a solution to this self-induced (the market gives us what we want) madness?



Right?! It’s crazy how much shelf space is devoted to junk food. But I don’t think it’s quite as bad as you’re making out. As long as you stick to “ingredients”, whether they’re canned, jarred, frozen, whatever, you’re pretty safe. Like I’m going through the aisles and yeah you have to avoid a bunch of whole aisles devoted to “processed” foods but that’s certainly not the majority of my grocery store.
