Purchase options and add-ons

From the days of hunter-gathers to modern shoppers attempting to decipher the complexity of products on food shelves today, the way we procure our food has changed dramatically. But our need for proper nourishment remains the same. Processed food, fast food, adulterated, and chemically enhanced foods make navigating the stocking of our pantries with healthy foods a truly mystifying chore. Many of us don’t know where this food comes from, and we don’t know what’s really in it. Most people who walk into a grocery store think that all of the edible-appearing products on the shelves are food. The truth is that many of them are not! Many of these items contain ingredients that have the potential to be harmful. Even though legislation generally protects us against illegal food substances, evidence is showing many items to be either unsafe or at the very least not nutritious or healthful food options. We are seduced by the pretty pictures on the box or the marketing claims by the manufacturer. We don't really know what’s in our food, trusting that if they are selling it we can eat it.This book will help you take back control of your pantry and your food source. You will discover those items that are not contributing nutrition value and perhaps detracting from your health and that of your loved ones. You will learn how to stock your pantry with the healthiest choices available.

Mira Dessy NE has successfully achieved writing a book that is happily dog-eared as I refer to it often both for my own personal knowledge, and to share with clients.In fact, I bought 10 books to give away to the clients I thought would most benefit from owning The Pantry Principle. Needless to say, they were very grateful and I hear back they still use it as a reference guide to help them navigate the landmines in conventional grocery stores.This is a VERY relevant book and should be in everyone's library who's serious about healthy eating. Not only does she educate you from the very beginning - Shopping 101 - how to read labels, but then goes on to demystify language like "natural flavors", where is MSG and what are its clandestine names.Last but not least, the recipes! Oh, the recipes, from how to make in a jiffy your own mayonnaise (taste: DIVINE!), salsa, pesto, etc.I hope I have somehow conveyed the importance of this book being in EVERY American's home. It's that important. Happy reading!

The Pantry Principle provides an eye opening view on the food like products we are consuming that is causing harm to our health. We just aren’t taught these simple skills like understanding a food label and fall victim to the food industries flashy marketing tactics, especially packaged food that is marketed as healthy but really isn't. We are giving away our authority by allowing these norms to go unchallenged. This is a great resource I am recommending to all my clients. So I highly recommend buying this book and putting these accessible principles into practice to create the health you and your loved ones deserve.
