Grocery shopping has become super stressful because it feels like 99.9% of every processed product in the store is chock full of GMOs, chemicals, artificial colors and flavors. I bought some BBQ sauce at a mainstream grocery store after scouring the labels and found, what I thought, was the least offensive ingredient list. Normally, Im much better at planning ahead and getting better quality, organic products at the health food store when were in town. (Shame on me for succumbing to convenience shopping, by the way.) Between the corn sweetener and soybean oil (GMO) and the sodium benzoate (chemical preservative) my kid, who has no known allergies, had a nasty reaction. Hardly anything on those shelves can be trusted as safe. Big business is buying up trusted brands (Annies) and increasingly, even those foods we think of as natural or healthy are being contaminated with questionable additives. Homemade, organic, whole, chemical-free is the only way to go. Guess Ill be making my own condiments and convenience foods from now on!
