Americans, we buy too much processed foods even when fresh foods are available. Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked over 150,000 households to use barcode scanners to record all food and beverage purchases they made for at least one year. The study took place from 2000 to 2012. And guess what? It will probably not surprise you to know, more than 60% of the calories in the foods we buy were made up by highly processed foods. Let's work on getting more fresh meats, veggies, fruit, etc into our carts when grocery shopping.
