Chipotle

So I'm feeling... not lazy, but not up to cooking today. So I went out to Chipotle (although in this town I could choose from any burrito chains you could think to name, and one or two you couldn't). Got myself a giant burrito for dinner, so nom noms there, but nothing I need to describe. In lieu of a recipe tonight I just have some pictures of the clearing of my kitchen.

I scoured the kitchen, reading every ingredient list, and removed every item which had High Fructose Corn Syrup, or regular corn syrup. Thinking back on it, I did see some ingredients against which I had been warned in my research the other night, but I don't quite feel like scouring the pantries again, so I'll just keep on my toes and hope nothing bad goes unnoticed.

So this is the canned goods pantry before I took out all the bad stuff....

And after?

The bread pantry before and after are next...

And finally, these are all the products I removed from my kitchen:

Altogether, Hershey's Chocolate syrup, Nestle hot chocolate mix, Blue Bell ice cream, Great Value potatoes au gratin, Great Value pancake syrup (the first two ingredients were High Fructose Corn Syrup, and corn syrup), Ocean Spray cranberry sauce, Wishbone Balsamic Vinaigrette, Great Value Peach Halves in heavy syrup, Great Value vegetarian vegetable soup (why in the great, ghastly world does SOUP have HFCS? Speaking of which...), Campbell's AND Great Value tomato soup, Knott's strawberry preserves, GV Strawberry spread, GV cherry fruit mix, Knorr Pesto mix (didn't have HFCS, but did have some worrying ingredients), GV Spaghetti rings, Ritz crackers, hot dog buns, GV whole wheat bread (isn't whole wheat supposed to mean it's good for you?), GV marshmallows, and I wasn't completely sure about the fig newtons, since I didn't have the box, but I fig-ured (heh) that I shouldn't take the risk.

*wipes brow*

PHEW! that's one hell of a list for you...

If I ever perform a scouring of the shire, ehem, I mean pantries again, for other ingredients, I shall let you know, faithful readers (or reader).

'Til next time, Eat Healthy!

Edit:

By the way, I'm taking all of the canned goods to the local food bank. Everything else was opened, so, unfortunately, I can't donate it. But my neighbors accepted some that which otherwise would have ended up in the dumpster, so that's good.
