Editorial Review:
Much like the waistlines of America, the aisles of your grocery store are straining under the weight of too much food. There are more than 40,000 products lining the shelves of your local supermarket, and with every product comes a whole new host of inflated label claims: "zero trans fat!" "Cholesterol free!" "Good source of 9 vitamins and minerals!" The problem is these claims are just as bogus as the hyped-up foods they're trying to sell.
That's where Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide comes in. It's your best weapon against the food industry's effort to obfuscate the truth about the food it's selling. Building on the popular approach of the Eat This, Not That! book series, co-authors Dave Zinczenko and Matt Goudling have scoured the aisles of the supermarkets of America, and in so doing they've discovered that two seemingly similar packages can house foods with vastly different nutritional profiles. They've also folded in all-new material that will help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce; the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat; and the least contaminated seafood at the fish counter. In this book you'll also find:
11 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know
20 Worst Packaged Foods in America
Answers to The 5 Most Important Questions About Organic Food
The Ultimate Sandwich Selector
The Snack Matrix
The Food Additive Glossary
And the extended chapter, Drink This, Not That!
With tens of thousands of products crammed into the walls of the neighborhood supermarket, trying to find a reliable snack, pantry product, or frozen dinner can be a serious challenge for the time-strained consumer. The Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide changes all of that, offering discerning shoppers everywhere a simple plan for finding the healthiest foods for them and their families. Beyond homing in on the best and worst in the world of packaged foods, the Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide scours the aisles to help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce, the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat, exotic cheeses that double as healthy snacks, and the best contaminant-free fish the ocean has to offer.

Supermarket Shopping I am very pleased with the book. I was not aware of much of the information, like ice cream, cake mixes, I bake frequently. I will be sure to check out most of the products before I buy. I was also surprised at deli meats. I have my favorites but will not eat them any more like bologna.I love keilbasa and hated the thoughts of giving it up but the turkey smoked will be the next purchase as well as hot dogs. Thanks for this book with all the information. I have dieted all my life but as I get older it is... more info
Great Book and Compact Great Book. Easy to read and compact enough to take with you. No long, drag out section before you get to the point. Easy to read; Easy to understand. Also, no boring recipes. Alternatives are actually good and inexpensive.
Eat This Not That I found this book so informative, fun, and easy to read
that I ordered one for each of my four adult children.
A Total Eye-Opener From cover to cover, this book is jam-packed with fantastic advice on nutrition and how to shop wisely at the supermarket. The truth is that many people who grocery shop do not know what they are buying. When they see a certain product, they leap to conclusions about whether it is "healthy" or not based on preconceived ideas of what healthy food is. Don't buy products without reading the ingredients; if you really want to buy a healthy fruit juice, buy one that has only one or two ingredients, not one... more info
