Just because it's organic doesn't mean it's good for you.

This is actually what I do to annoy the people who won't shut up about legalizing pot. When they fire off, "It's from the ground, it's fine", I offer to get them a glass of oil to drink. "Go on, it's safe. It's from the ground!"

How old is this glass of oil that you've been carrying around?

Hm. Don't know what you guys are buying - maybe allot of the trader joe unique snacks or meals - but I've had a good track record with their ingredients and misc. I usually buy eggs, bacon, juice, cold cuts, sometimes veggies (and potato chips/popcorn/ice cream sometimes!) - all been good for me. In particular I make trail mix to snack on allot and the whole bags of raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, and raisins are a godsend to me - Neat packaging in just the right amounts for me to store easily and obv. I can mix however I like. I like the place.

you can shop exclusively at trader joes and get all the essential groceries and eat healthy. not sure where the its just junk food idea is coming from

So im a swede, living in sweden. I have never visited trader joes. But youtube feeds me these videos on stores like trader joes. I have no idea why.

But anyway. Trader joes seems to be an upscale lidl or aldi like store. Just like lidl they more or less only have their own brands. And little to no produce, ie untampered meat and vegetables. Instead its 90% factory massproduced stuff. junk food. Only it says organic and fresh on the box. But its still junk food..

It’s literally an upscale “Aldi” they’re owned by the same company.

Never knew that. Learn something new every day. We dont have TJ or Aldi in Canada.

$5 for a pound of raw almonds/walnuts, $7 for a pound hazelnuts, peanut butter and almond butter cheaper than like everywhere else. $3.49 for larger container of organic yogurt, $4 for free range eggs. frozen berries aren't overpriced same with their greens. $5.60 something for a pound of extra lean ground beef. place is a really good deal for that stuff.

eh, just shop at Publix.

Instead of their junk, find a local farm to go to in order to buy better stuff, imho.

My local farm only had corn.... and it was the type to make biodiesel and tastes like crap
