Trader Joe's is in trouble these days for listeria outbreaks in their products. Well, to be fair it is more than just Trader Joe's. I'm not sure where my rant will go today. It will either to be the poor quality of American foods (overly processed and full of chemicals) or the type of people who shop at Trader Joe's.
Hmmm,,, decisions decisions.
Despite it's popularity, I've never been a huge fan of Trader Joe's. Sure, they have some good deals on wine from time to time, but I've never been super impressed with their foods. The customers at Trader Joe's are Whole Foods wannabes. There is a reason Trader Joe's has the moniker "Yuppie Wal Mart."
Even Whole Foods has taken a nose dive since Amazon acquired them a few years ago. When an acquisition happens, corporate ALWAYS promises they won't mess with the way things are currently done. They always do. Everything is profit driven, remember that.
Bottom Line: If you can't pronounce the items on a products ingredient list, it is more than likely harmful for your health. Eat at home. Make what you can yourself. No, I'm not a food Nazi, but be leery of anything that comes in a bag or a box. Buy locally.
