We just joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and I got our first load of veggies on Thursday. So, I've been planning menus around the veggies. So far, so good. Today hubs went to the grocery store for some staples we haven't had in house as we've really just been living on salad and chicken for a few months.
Anyway, I'm reading the labels on stewed tomaotes, black beans, kernal corn, mango chutney and I'm fed up. Every single item he brought back from the store had either or both high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated some sort of oil.
Other than money, what possible reason could there be for a company to ADD some sort of oil to peanut butter for Pete's sake.
So, I'm asking, if this is something you care about and shop around, could you give me some brand names that avoid the additives. My secondary choice is going to the natural foods store, which is close enough that it's not a big deal, just involves a second trip out.
