me two minutes, I'll teach you 20 things about the grocery store. Number one, there

are entire aisles of unedible foods, which is your potato chip aisle, your soda

aisle, juices and energy drinks, where you can see some of them are 1% juice. The

bread aisle as well, where it's pretty cool where it ends with all of this

stuff. Go ask anyone's grandma who makes bread, they didn't use any of these

ingredients. Number two, when searching for healthier ingredients, it's always

going to be up, which we can grab a reduced-fat Jif peanut butter. If we scan

the level it was found on and we go up, we find the better peanut butter. Now I'm

six foot two and I can barely reach that. What you'll see here is a

hydrogenated one versus a non-hydrogenated one. The exact same calories, one ingredient,

tons of ingredients. You always choose the one with less ingredients. Number three,

only the megacorporations can afford the NCAP, Mountain Dew, Post, General Mills.

Number four, when a product owns a majority of the real estate space, it's

not good, which you can see Pop-Tarts owns this entire part of the shop. Pop-Tart

partners with movies to add food coloring. Kind of weird, right? Number five,

when there's all different versions of the same thing, all versions of that same

thing are wrong. Use General Mills as an example. Marketed for healthy, definitely

not healthy. So why would they make something healthy and unhealthy? When you

look at the ingredients, you start to realize that all of these, you know, not

made with genetically modified ingredients, made with genetically

modified ingredients. And then the trace amounts of everything in the world is,

it's still in there anyways, because made in Minneapolis, made in Minneapolis. It's

made from the same plant. Number six, most people don't eat enough calories in a

day or get enough protein. So when you're deciding what you want, just look at the

number of ingredients and ask yourself, why are there so many different versions

of sugar and oil in here? That's literally all this thing is, is salt, oil,

salt, oil, salt, oil, sugar, sugar, sugar. This is not good. So to make the healthier

decision, just look at the ingredients and say, wow, those are pretty natural.

Number seven, think about overnight oats with just maple and brown sugar. Most

people will spend $2.98 for this. Buy all the base ingredients. You get

one serving 230 calories for $3. You get 18 servings of 180 calories for $6.

If you start buying the base ingredients like oatmeal, strawberries, and

blueberries, you're gonna get a much better meal. Number eight, if you can bulk

buy, don't do it. Nothing in bulk is good. For instance, none of the healthy

companies have 24 pouches. No healthy cereal brand has a family size or, in

this case, mega size. The good old Skippy got that five pound jar of peanut butter.

That clearly wants to hydrogenate its vegetable oils. Number nine, serious

reminder with canned foods and just foods in general. This should be tomato, basil,

garlic, oregano, right? Wrong. They're adding milk in here. They're adding cheese

in here. They're adding soybean oil in here. They're adding a bunch of ingredients

that you wouldn't normally consume. So when in doubt, flip it about and ask

yourself, where's all the extra stuff coming from? Number ten, you see once

again large companies like fruit cocktail and heavy syrup, high fructose

corn syrup, and corn syrup. You will find among every name brand that they all use

the same ingredients. High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup again. This is the

same as this, except the only difference is this one doesn't use food coloring

and this one does. Cherries are red. When you really start paying attention, you

see that they're paying attention to this type of stuff because now the cherries

don't have red three, just another version of a coloring. But if you go back

to that same brand over there that was using the red three, well, they're gonna

use it again. Number eleven, still unchoppable aisle. I have to remind you

to look at the ingredients because now you have high fructose corn syrup and a

cracker, but they're always going to have oils, sugars, and salts combined together.

That's why they taste great. Number twelve, there are healthy options. Green,

yellow, red. There will be a casual increase ingredients. Pistachios, sea salt,

potatoes, sugar, sunflower oil, sea salt, and then there's your oil, salt, sugar

mix again. More ingredients, better taste. Not as good for your gut health. And you

can see that again with cashews. This should just be a single ingredient of

cashews. Then when you really start looking, they've got peanut oil, cottonseed

oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil. What? Number thirteen, if you bring your kids

shopping, they have built the grocery store specifically for your kids. Looks

marketed towards adults, is definitely marketed towards kids. Number thirteen,

if it's shiny, it's shellac. And there's a bunch of flies here on those. Number

fourteen, keller equals nutrient density. So if it's a white potato that's white

all the way through, it's not going to be good as an orange potato that's orange

all the way through. Think green apple, white on the inside, red apple, white on

the inside, versus a strawberry being red all the way through, or red cabbage being

red. Number fifteen, be really careful about the grocery store. A lot of our

fast food chain restaurants somehow made their way into the grocery store. Which

once again, the mega corporations can afford those end caps. And there is

absolutely, guess what? It's just made of oil and sugar and salt. Number sixteen, if

you're looking for healthy items, you have to really look for them. Here's

honeycomb, pure honey with comb. You can see it's genuinely real food. It's the most

important part. Number seventeen, pay attention to food as either sugar, oils,

or salts. Candy is obviously considered sugar, but when you look on the back,

you'll see they add vegetable oil and salt. Remember the real estate space and

ingredients here? You'll always be able to tell what's good or bad. Soybean oil,

sugar, salt. Why? It's for sales and markability. Imagine if you bought this

and it tasted terrible, you'd never buy it again. So the way they make it taste

great, monosodium glutamate, modified corn starches, your natural smoked flavors. You

start really looking at what's in there. You're always gonna have some sort of

salt. You'll have multiple different types of salt. You'll always have some

sort of taste modifiers. Some might not have oil in it, but they're gonna have so

many ingredients and be so sure of themselves because they engineered it to

taste great. Number eighteen, bland is always better. Looks basic, chicken broth,

but they add flavor modifiers. And the reason that doesn't work is because the

real estate space. So you move over to your left a little. Chicken broth with no

modifiers. And think about it for a second. Three dollars and twelve cents

for 907 grams or 176 for, looks like, 300 grams. So buying this chicken broth

is actually saving you money and giving you better ingredients. Three dollars and

twelve cents for 907, 176 for 300. You can see that clear as day. That there are

better, healthier options that are cheaper. You just have to learn to

navigate, that's all. Number nineteen, there's actually a pretty good brand that

you can find in grocery stores. It's distributed by Walmart. They're doing a

really good job of putting better ingredients in it. The world is becoming more

aware that we can see this now. And twenty, when in doubt, because we all know

Selena Gomez has nothing to do with food. Flip it about, because all she did was

help people put more of the same ingredients into the mouths of children.

Because I'm a grown man, I'm not buying Selena Gomez Oreos. And remember some general

information. There's tons of different options of basically the same thing.

They're all wrong. They're all gonna have oils, some sort of corn starches, and

salts, which is oil, sugar, salt. I'll continue to make these videos because I

know it helps people. There's your potato chips, there's your oils, there's your salt.

People still grab this stuff off the grocery store. Shelves and end caps.

See someone was looking at that and it wasn't me. These brands, they don't care

because they market movies to us to put food coloring in our mouth. Those pop

tarts are basically the same as this, just with more ingredients. So when you really

pay attention to less than 2% of, you can see this is just water and high

fructose corn syrup. And then less than 2% of all the additives including the

food coloring. And if you really want to move to the next level of consumption as

a human being, don't consume expecting there to be a physiological response.

Because that's why people drink this stuff. Because it changes your

physiology. If you're really trying to do better, there's multiple types of cola.

This one, better than that one. This one is gonna be better than that one. But if

you're absolutely addicted, you're not ready to change just yet. But all I'm

asking is that you just start somewhere. You can have your high fructose corn

syrup, or you can have one without. These small little changes create

massive differences. Because go ask anybody that has ever baked a cookie

before if they use these ingredients. This is mind-blowing to me. That is just two

cookies and that many ingredients is how we're gonna get with too many cookies.

That is a laundry list. That is a month's worth of ingredients.
