It IS a good salt but I do not find it very “salty”, not like Himalayan. I know, salt is salt, right?
At $10 a box and you use just a pinch on some things but not all it can last a while.
I was very skeptical of finishing salt and all that but there is a difference in them and what they bring to the table.
But I do not expect to find them for free....
Sprouts is trying to be that, I think. They just opened here, I’m still figuring them out.
“Start using a finishing salt and don’t tell people, and you will see them give positive reactions.”
THAT is the thing-DON”T TELL ANY ONE! That’s how you know that it just isn’t your own confirmation bias. I did this with a change in flour. Everyone noticed and noticed immediately. Gold Medal vs the blue King Arthur. Who da’ thunk?
“Every sodium atom and ion is identical ...”
LOL!! Post of the week.
With over 92 million able-bodied Americans not working, the actual unemployment rate, using the same metric as prevailed in the 1920-30s, the rate is over 37% or 9% higher than the worst of the Great Depression period.
Who has money - other than those fortunate enough to have trust funds? Who can afford to change careers with jobs so scare and competition so high?
Under Obama and his minions Millennials have no chance.
But everybody has the same seafood market display: warm ice under the fish, aka rotting fish and the “fishy odor”, aka rotting fish odor.
You pay a high priced for fish that no self-respecting fisherman would touch let alone eat.
Fresh fish must be kept UNDER cold ice at all times and the case must never be above 28 degrees. There is no smell - period.
All frozen fish must be flash frozen and vacuum wrapped. Fish- frozen or otherwise - in “bread” crumbs” is old fish someone is trying to pawn off as eatable.
When the electric goes down, the cards don't flash anything and the poor areas become a cash-only or hand-it-over society instantly. I would advise staying away from the inner cities and urban areas. In fact, stay away from any city or area is governed by democratic party rule or where the majority of its people depend on entitlements.
It's going to be full of people waiting and expecting the government to come and rescue them. It'll be Donner Pass as soon as the people realize the government isn't coming and the food and water has been looted from every store. Only then, will it become fully apparent everyman has to take responsibility for himself in order to survive.
I would never have dreamed this could happen in America where we have the richest 'poor' in the world. When has someone heard of poor people dying of starvation (mental cases excluded)? But the riots and looting of Ferguson and Baltimore are a red flag that worse things are on the horizon.
And the Whole Foods marketing people are worried that the 'poor' are too broke to pay anything for organic food and other luxuries. They should be. All they need to do is look around them and see how McDonalds is doing. In the meantime our government is stocking up buying more bullets, not beans. The prognosis doesn't look good to me.
[I usually shop at Walmart.]
Start reading the labels of origin at Walmart:
* 100% Juice canned fruit; processed in China.
* Fresh chicken; processed in China.
* Fresh fish; caught in the Pacific (China)
Does China process human food like it does dog food?
I still shop Walmart, but I am more choosy about what I buy.
“Reality will be a real slap in the face to people who have never worked and have never been trained for work.”

True, but the differentiation is the mix of other elements and compounds.
Sea salt from that part of the Med is different from that harvested from Hawaiian waters, or even 200M year old stuff from ancient sea beds in Badlands of the US.
How about smoked sea salt from Norway?
I like sea salt, preferable flaked, but I'm happy with cheap kosher salt.
A few hundred miles out.
I thought unemployment was 5.4%?
For the Millenial who lives at home with the parents, a $250 grocery trip isn’t out of line, especially if parents are paying for the food, too.
Worth repeating to those with no sense and a need to blame an entire generation for their lack of motivation.
You've answered your own question.
Here it is: "On the other hand, a very high percentage of the stuff on the shelves in the average grocery store isn’t very healthy."
Therefore, only consider that smaller percentage that is healthy.
No way IS Trader Joe’s comparable to Whole Foods.
Whole Paycheck is where wives of high priced lawyers spend their day shopping for food they do not eat because they will insist that hubby take them to a restaurant.
Real shoppers shop at ALDI’s as they have better prices than WalMart and Save-A-Lot , their prices are stable ,and you can count on the value week after week because a tremendous amount of what they sell are their own store brands... no games with coupons or a handful of items (only) on sale.
WFM just needs to change ,, they must acknowledge that their customer base is disappearing quickly... Too bad they have such a reputation that even if they lowered their prices to something reasonable they wouldn’t attract value buyers.
I don’t eat seafood. Period. Unless one is fortunate to live along the coast, purchasing seafood is a risky proposition. And as far inland as DFW is, I do not want to risk food poisoning. Ocean going insects (crab, shrimp, lobster) are not tasty enough to risk a trip to the ER.
I was so surprised about Aldi’s when I first shopped there. I tried their crackers, butter, coconut covered shrimp, bagels and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised with all for they were far better then the local grocery in taste and quality....and their fresh vegtables were "healthier" all around. My daughter-in-law just got a new Aldi's near her home and never shopped there in the past. She is absolutely sold on them now. The ONLY product I've found distasteful is their coffee....maybe I've just not purchased the right one yet.
What's *really* behind this sudden media interest in Whole Foods?Zerocare:
