Andi's groceries
Here are my groceries for the week!
Granted, these are for 3 people - Emily and Kelli (my two roommates) have agreed to give this diet a try for a week with me as long as they can get bread, yogurt, and a few soy things for themselves.
The biggest struggle for me is that we have decided to buy mostly NON-organic. My big 2010 New Year's Resolution was to go ALL organic, but Paleo has trumped this resolution right now. Otherwise my roommates have told me that this diet would just be too cost prohibitive.
Emily convinced me that buying organic is less important than buying local after reading the book "Omnivore's Dilemma." I'm only 1/4 of the way through this book right now so I have taken her word for it.
Even though we are not buying organic produce (except for spinach and broccoli), we ARE buying grain fed meats and eggs. This is important because I strongly disagree with feeding our animals unnatural corn - it is simply unhealthy (i.e. much lower Omega-3s in your food) and bad for the environment.
Week one, here we come!
