Until then, you are nothing.

The world you are born into

Smart Shopping

Jul 11th, 2010 | By

A good way to implement the idea of “eating clean” is to make sure you are shopping smart. The dummy-proof rule for shopping smart is: Shop the border of the store, not the aisles! Think about what they place around the border of the store: the produce section (veggies and fruits), fresh nuts, the meat
