Grocery Store Wars

On the heels of discovering Lucia's food allergies¹, my wife has been introducing new words and phrases into my vocabulary.  Organic, natural, whole foods, healthy living, gluten-free, and homeopathic.  Hydrogenated oils, trans fats, enriched flours, refined sugars, and high-fructuse corn syrup.  Yes, I am learning more about how poorly I've been eating up to this point in my life, and more about the host of benefits eating natural foods versus processed foods.  Her food manifesto² has been the topic of our dinner conversations.

So, in the spirit of a true meloncholic³, I'll remain silent for now, taking it all in, processing these new and organic ideas, until I've made a conclusion.  Until then, I'll share this facinating article, Seeing Red: Eating Locally and Debunking the Red-Blue Divide⁴, and this video, "Grocery Store Wars."  I hope you enjoy them!
