Love it or hate it, shopping for groceries is unavoidable. The perks—for anyone who likes to eat—are obvious. But shopping can be maddening: the confusing labels, the shifts in nutrition news, the vivid sense that E. coli is waving to you from the deli. We’re all trying to shop healthier, in ways that slim us but not our pocketbooks. That’s why we’ve created this guide to healthy, safer shopping—just in time for your next trip to the store.

Before leaving a public restroom and after washing hands, use the paper towel after drying your hands to open the door when leaving. There’s often a garbage bin near the door. It’s shocking to see how many men and women don’t wash their hands after using a restroom!
Public restroom door knobs are filthy! It’s shocking to see how many men, women and children who don’t wash their hands before leaving a restroom. To protect yourself, after washing your hands, use the paper towel to open the door. Often there is a trash bin near the door.
As you look at the label, nutritional information is only a part of the process. You need tolook at the chemicals and additives you are ingesting, what harm they might do or not do. A NEW website; labelwatch.com; has a proprietary, and well-sourced glossary to help us all make sense of what rather than how much we are eating. It is free. Check it out and see how good, or bad, your favorite foods are.
