- 15. Now we willtalk about some tips on how to master the supermarket!
- 16. How to masteryour market Rule #2: Look high and low Since the 1980’s grocery stores have been charging “slotting fees” to food companies for prime product placement. This means eye level. The healthier foods tend to be on the top and bottom shelves.
- 17. How to masteryour market Rule #1: Work the edges The healthiest food is found along the walls, while the inner aisles are dominated by things that comes in boxes, bags, or cans.
- 18. How to masteryour market Rule #3 Learn the lingo Some companies use words that sound healthy but aren’t. Ex: “Whole Grain” and “MultiGrain” are not the same thing. “Whole grain” means the entire grain kernel has been used whereas “Multigrain” means more than one type of grain was used.
- 19. How to masteryour market Rule #4 Fewer ingredients means healthier food Rule #5 Watch the Totem Pole Labels can be confusing to read. Think of the ingredients list like a totem pole, with ingredients toward the top as more prevalent. Also, if you ever have to choose between two products, pick the one with the shorter list of ingredients.

Editor's Notes
- #3 The supermarket is different than it used to be 20 years ago. HFCS is in cereal, bread, juice, and even pasta sauce! Why?----its cheaper to produce, has a longer shelf life, and is in liquid form so easy to put in foods.
- #5 Instead try a 100 grand bar
- #18 This can mean more chemically made ingredients, like preservatives and HFCS. The outer walls are for the dairy case, produce, meat and seafood.
- #20 Ex: a product that lists HFCS as ingredient number 2 is probably not as healthy as a product that lists it as ingredient 6.
