The whole earth is now unhealthy so I'm not going to worry about prepared foods. That Whole Foods chicken looks good but unfortunately the Whole Foods in Mobile was closed a couple of years ago, that surprised me because it was always busy, at least I still have Fresh Markets. $11.99 is in line with other food costs. If its good, its worth the money.

It's probably wise to check labels, and not overdo the packaged foods. However, the dire warning, above, is a bit extreme. When you pointed out the Whole Foods chicken, my first thought was "that's a bit steep," for a rotisserie chicken (Costco's is $5.00). Then I remembered that last week I spent $21.00 for a 4 lb. chicken, to take home, and roast myself. I guess that Whole Foods IS a bargain. I'll have to try one.

The Costco chicken is a loss leader, along with the snack bar hot dog Pepsi combo at $1.50. They are determined to keep those prices. I've had intermittent luck with Costco chickens. Sometimes great, sometimes gross. I'm seeing conflicting labels online so I'm going to have to check myself. chicken, water, seasoning (salt, sodium phosphates, hydrolyzed casein, modified corn starch, sugar, dextrose, chicken broth and natural flavors), seasoning (isolated soy protein, starch, lecithin), mono- and diglycerides, salt

They always said "read labels". You know lowfat, many times means it will add more sugar or more salt. Less sodium will mean more sugar, or more unhealthy fat. Back in the olden days they said eat more salad, & people would get the bagged salads...that had croutons, cheese, fatty dressing. The dressing being the biggest culprit since most would add more dressing than what was provided. Not all prepared food is bad. Especially nowadays, there is far more variety to look for "healthier" options. The point is to look, & read. And keep in mind it is also about portion control and how much you eat of say the unhealthier items. Don't totally deprive yourself, because that is the path to binging. Plus you should enjoy your life as well.
