Did you ever really look at the layout of your grocery store? The fruits and vegetables are on one far side, meat and dairy are on the very back wall, and health and beauty supplies are on the other far side. All of the prepackaged and pre-prepared foods are in the center. I am sure the design is well thought out, and it does work, because most people emerge from the center with very full carts. I wonder if the center of the store is a magnetic vortex where all of your favorite snacks are automatically attracted to your cart.
Let’s Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to cooking and eating for maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. There is a place and time to enjoy candy, salty snacks, soft drinks and all of the other tasty, and convenient, foods located in the center of the grocery store. The problem arises when you go into the center too often and you choose too much. The key is to go armed and ready with a list, reach for only those items, and then get out quickly. If you do not prepare yourself for the battle, the vortex will put items in your cart; even the strongest soul cannot resist the pull of salty crunch and chocolate goodness.
Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.
Simple cooking idea: After you soak dry beans, throw out the soaking water, rinse, and cook them in fresh water. It will cut down on the gas.

I love that...magnetic vortex. That is so true! I hate going in to get milk and coming out with $40 worth of stuff on the way to the dairy section. Hmmmm...very sneaky! Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
