1. Shop well. Make sure you buy fresh produce, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, bread, pasta, rice, etc. at least two times a week. If you don’t have fresh food in the house, you’ll have to resort to fast processed stuff.

2. Cook. If you don’t know how, then learn. Processed food makes life very easy for those of us who can’t cook. Home-made food, however, is better and tastier. It also doesn’t take that much time to prepare as the processed food companies want us to believe. A good dinner from fresh, unprocessed ingredients can take anything between 10 minutes to 4 hours. It all depends on how complex you want it to be.

3. Learn to make staples at home. Jar your own pickles. Make a chocolate syrup(for pancakes, f’ex) from scratch. Bake bread. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s fresh and tasty, and it’s free from all the nasty stuff that the food industry puts in our food.
