America's Unhealthiest Grocery

Shoppers



By Allison Van Dusen, Forbes.com
 


Every week Americans head to the grocery store knowing what should fill their carts — fruits, vegetables and unprocessed foods packed with whole grains.

Yet many end up walking out with bags full of sugary cookies, a couple of frozen meat lovers' pizzas and liters of soda.

In Pictures: America's Unhealthiest Grocery Shoppers

This happens most in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metro area, where shoppers spend 11.47 percent of their yearly grocery bill on unhealthy items (the national average is 8.5 percent). In second-place Richmond, Va., that number drops slightly, to 11.45 percent, and in Indianapolis and Carmel, Ind., No. 3 on our list, unhealthy items eat up 11.33 percent of a typical grocery shopper's bill.

It is a good article. when i was in Russia one thing I noticed was the way they used sugar.  The breads and cakes looked like they would be terribly sweet, but no and they were  so good. And not a lot of preservatives. Anna was very careful on the poultry she bought, no antibiotics. They eat healthy and walk everyplace.
