P.S. Shop the perimeter of your grocery store.

Stay out of the middle aisles where the FrankenFoods live...forever!

Eat as close to the DIRT as you can, Listeria be d@mned! ;)

Shop local. Love Your Farmers! :)

Excellent advice. 95% of my grocery shopping is accomplished at the perimeters, only ducking into the middle aisles for things like olive oil, seasoning and canned sardines.

I use local farms as much as possible (and farm eggs are available year round). Farmer markets tend to be overpriced, we go directly to the farm stands at the farms themselves.
