I imagined in my head that there are some supermarkets where you have to get on a scale to make sure you are at least 280 pounds before you can shop there.
Or you will not be allowed check out unless you buy a high fat product. Something like Salt pork, No Frills Bacon, Corn dogs, etc.

"A sweet problem: Princeton researchers find that high-fructose corn syrup prompts considerably more weight gain"
http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/
"The rats in the Princeton study became obese by drinking high-fructose corn syrup, but not by drinking sucrose. The critical differences in appetite, metabolism and gene expression that underlie this phenomenon are yet to be discovered, but may relate to the fact that excess fructose is being metabolized to produce fat, while glucose is largely being processed for energy or stored as a carbohydrate, called glycogen, in the liver and muscles."
My wife watched a special ("Sugar: The Bitter Truth", ~90 minutes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM) that held that fructose in fruit is fine due to the fiber that comes along with it, helping to cleanse it from the system. Fruit juices and HFCS are fructose without the fiber, so it stays with you and does some real damage. (I haven't watched it yet myself.)
As far as supermarkets go, I wish I could avoid them more and get to the farmer's markets more often, but when necessity requires, stick to the outside as much as possible. The outer edge is where you'll find (in every grocery I can think of around here) the produce, meats, dairy, bakery, and usually the organic section (and the beer section, too!). Buy more components, less compositions. |
