Actually I buy zero name-brand preprocessed food from the corporate giants , General Mills, Kraft, Kellogg's blah blah blah.
You might ask, "Gee Kenny, What's left?"
Actually tons of salads, fresh fruits and veges.
Brown rice, oatmeal, tofu, humus, taboule, whole grain breads, lentils, chicken, salmon, air-popped popcorn almost daily.
I mostly eat home-prepared simple food close to how it came from the earth.
I cook HUGE recipes, ziplock bag it into 30 servings, freeze them; I don't mind eating the same thing several days in a row.
My weakness is chocolate, ice cream and cookies.
I believe it's called "food." (another hater of factory made foodstuffs here.) I think I avoid that stuff mostly because when I was growing up, it wasn't available, or at least, not in the way it is today. I never really tasted it, because my dad always cooked meat, fish, grains and vegetables. We didn't have anything except home prepared food, with the exception of snack stuff like chips and cookies (and that was a rare treat). I'm sure we could have sought it out, or got some in a bigger town, but I was 10 when the first supermarket opened within driving distance to us, and the local stores didn't really sell anything branded or processed, so I never really got to seeing it as food. To be fair, I've eaten my share of crap, and I am waaaaaaay over fond of Pizza Hut, but my day to day food isn't corporate.
