I did my usual weekly food shopping at one of my favorite places. As this week ahead is going to be another busy week I wanted to ensure that there was food for lunches and dinners.

Many people were doing the same thing as I was, getting ready for another busy week ahead. Buying food for the family and any other item that is needed for the running of their households.

As i looked around in the produce section I noticed more and more people are adding items in their weekly shop that was once considered a treat is now a part of the staple diet. Many of these items were in bulk proportions.

Foods such as potato chips, chocolate, lollies, sweets and nuts that are coated in sugar (honey roasted nuts) are now part of the staple diets.

Many other items such as agave nectar (that appears to be healthy) is also a part of the weekly shopping list for many people. I overheard a couple saying this syrup is good for you because its from a plant.

We need to take a second look about what goes in the shopping trolley, to read the labels, to read the ingredients list and to understand how the ingredient list works.

The ingredient list is listed in order according to how much of the ingredient is in the product. It is listed from most to least. If sugar for example is number 1 or two on the list then the product is made nearly entirely of sugar.

With obesity, obesity related conditions and death associated with being overweight on the rise, its important to take a second look at the weekly shopping list and cross out the highly processed, refined and high sugar foods.

This is exactly what i did and it was the best decision that i have made.
