foods, food in boxes, stuff like that. And I am a low-carber, anyway. When I look at the weekly grocery sale handouts, I don't really classify much of it as food I would buy, any more. I have noticed how many prepared foods and mixes have corn and/or soy in them. I guess I am lucky that a low-carb diet seems to be really good for me; been eating like that most of my life.
