Case Study: Trader Joes

688 Words3 Pages

My group consisted of Sonja Huff, Niza Zamudio, and Anna Rowland. For this project, we were allowed to use $2 for the entire day on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast and lunch, we used 50 cents each, and then for dinner we pooled what was left and had $4 to make a joint dinner. My breakfast and lunch consisted of scrambled eggs. I used three eggs, which is about $1 and I used a small amount of cheese that I had on hand already. I then ate about half of it for breakfast and saved the rest for lunch. For dinner, we decided as a 'family’ to go grocery shopping at both Trader Joes and Safeway. Initially we thought that Trader Joes would be a lot cheaper when it came to healthier foods. However, we found that the vegetables and tomato sauces were too expensive, so for those items we decided to go to Safeway.

However, we did not clean the mushrooms before we started sautéing them, so that was one food safety issue that we faced. We did not really do anything to compensate for not cleaning the mushrooms.

Overall, I would not really say that I was satisfied, because I’m used to eating more than just scrambled eggs for breakfast and lunch, and then pasta for dinner. I’ll usually eat scrambled eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and then pasta and salad for dinner. For nutrition, we did not have any sort of dairy products, mainly because of the members who are lactose intolerant, and because all I had that day to drink was water. We did have vegetables (mushrooms) and grains (pasta). Though mushrooms have some protein in them, we did not have as much protein as we should have, and we had no fruits at all in our

    Unfortunately, for most people this trust has been broken and without a major industrial overhaul, we cannot make the choices we so desperately need. Pollan agrees when he writes, “This sounds like a sensible rule of thumb until you realize that industrial processes have by now invaded many whole foods too”(424). The essence of his argument is that even if food label says the food within is healthy, it is not always true. The food was probably industrially processed, making it a less whole food than we think. Basic things like apples are processed and we, as consumers, do not always know it.
