What's on your plate?

I just got back from the grocery store. It was a quick trip for some basics--apples and bananas, a bunch of vegetables (the artichokes look good), and some meat. As I was paying for it, the checker says to me, "Everything you're getting is healthy."

It seems kind of pathetic for that to be noteworthy! The stores are full of all sorts of great food, but so often we're buying all sorts of processed junk full of multi-syllabic chemical ingredients that probably didn't even exist ten years ago. It is nice to eat real stuff without all of the sodium and trans-fats and corn syrup (that stuff's in everything!).

What's on your plate?
