Avoid Corporate-Controlled Nutrition Including Organic Food!
Corporate-Inspired Nutrition by Sally Norton, MPH; Richmond, Virginia + The Weston A. Price Foundation's "Shopping Guide".

Here are the major take-home messages that really left an impression on me: 1) polar bear liver will kill you because of its high vitamin A content; 2) fat-soluble vitamins are dangerous; 3) sugar consumption has no ill effects, except for dental caries; and 4) dietary fat is the principal cause of cancer, heart disease, and just about every thing else. The major message: avoid fat at all costs and eat more carbs. Remember too: avoid vitamin pills and polar bear liver."

There is a stark contrast between what good nutrition consists of and the inferior nutrition that is taught by all the corporate-controlled educational institutions. Sally Norton (Corporate-Inspired Nutrition) is just one of virtually countless individuals who have learned this the hard way. Following "politically correct nutrition" and the dietary dictocrats in government and other "high places" can be deadly, or if not then a least very costly.
See: "What's Wrong With 'Politically Correct' Nutrition?";

Sally also points out that the corporate-inspired nutrition education starts early in school. Going to government schools for 12 years or more may possibly require as many years to completely unlearn all that one has been indoctrinated with. Yet all of that can be avoided!
The best school environment that I know of is a Biodynamic farm! It's my living dream.:

Update September 4, 2012 -
"... if the way food and animals are raised determines their nutrient density, and industrial organic foods are basically raised identically to conventional foods, then we should not be surprised that there is no nutritional difference between the two.
Conclusion – don’t get caught or fooled into paying high prices for pseudo organic foods, especially processed pseudo organic foods like boxed breakfast cereals and all sorts of other fake foods!
What matters is not what label is on the food, but how the food was actually raised.":

And to really know "how the food was actually raised" you need to know your grower.

According to "Supermarket Facts -
Industry Overview 2010" The
"Average number items carried in a supermarket in 2010" was 38,718:

The Weston A. Price Foundation publishes one of the most informative, little guides on nutrient-dense foods that is simply called the: "Shopping Guide" and I highly recommend it! It is possibly the most handy guide you can find for making wise choices for good foods. It says:
"Good health begins with plants and animals raised in healthy ways on mineral-rich soil; and with meats, eggs, milk products, fish, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables that are packaged and processed in ways that preserve and enhance their naturally occuring nutrients.
Good health also requires avoiding foods that are devoid of nutrients or that can do us harm, such as refined sugars (unless mixed into your home-made kombucha and the like), white flour (yuck!), most commercial liquid vegetable oils (more yuck!), modern soy-based imitation foods and additives like MSG, hydrolyzed protein, and artificial sweeteners."
There are a total of thirty different categories of foods and food items listed on 103 pages that can fit into a shirt pocket! How does that relate to the "38,718" items that may be carried in a supermarket? Well, the "guide" lists the food and food items in three rankings: Best, Good and Avoid. And the Guides rankings of Best and Good lists all known items. The ranking of "Avoid" is typically a one line description of the other items to avoid. What this means is that the supermarket is mostly filled with these other items that are best avoided! Maybe some day we can have a actual figure indicating how much these items are included in the "38,718" figure. In any case when you read lines like: "What consumers have lost in frontier independence, they have gained in choices" in support of a figure like "38,718" you can take the "gain" "in choices" with a grain of salt! However (and unfortunately) many of the foods listed in the Guide are not available at the supermarket but only available through some form of direct order from the source. Just Get the guide and see for yourself what the real food choices are!
