You are what you buy

You are what you eat + You eat what you buy/grow/harvest -> you are what you buy!

I've noticed that I feel better when I have MORE greens in my diet and LESS of everything else.
Buying mainly greens has helped me out SO much in this quest to be green. It may seem kind of obvious, but I just discovered this and it has really worked for me. My plateu in my health/weight goals was the result of a plateu in my shopping strategy. I had a weekly shopping list that I would use to constantly buy the same things!

Since we raw foodists buy/prepare most of our own food, you really are what you buy! (and who you are . . . it's just a saying . . . don't take it too literally)

I know what you're saying. If it's in my home, I will eat it. Instead of shopping totally from a list (I still use a list -- just not exclusively), I will go to the produce section and intentionally look for fruits/veggies I have never tried... and I will load up on every kind of green that I can. Like you said, it's so obvious, but so true!

My strategy is largely one of frugality: Enter produce section, buy what is reduced to clear price. There's always something. And if there's not, there is at another grocery store, the fruit market, etc. Or if all else fails, there's Lidl.
