Absolutely! Another couple of grocery shopping tips (from Michael Pollan):
- The Grandmother (or Great-Grandmother) test: don't buy food unless your Great-Grandmother would recognize it. I expand this to a generic hypothetical ancestor from anywhere in the world, as my Great Grandma wouldn't recognize, say, Gochujang sauce, but the idea is simple -- stick to food that has been around for a while.
- Stick to the outside "perimeter" of a grocery store for the most part. This is not a hard and fast rule, but generally the fresh and whole food will be on the walls around the grocery section, with more processed foods in the aisles.
