Deciding what to eat is a major chore

Why is it that deciding what to eat is a major chore?  I sit and stare and am overwhelmed by the amount of healthy eating plans that are out there.  Which one is best?  I have no clue.  In a nation that is overweight I wonder if any of us does know what healthy is.  Grocery stores are filled with tons of easy processed foods full of colorings and god knows what else.

Shop the perimeter of the grocery store is what I have heard.  Ok.  Read labels.  Ok.  Buy whole foods.  Ok.

In Aunt Nancy's time there weren't all these things to bog you down.  You went to the local very small grocer, grew most of your own, and fixed things from scratch.  I think perhaps it is time for people to slow down.

I know for my family it certainly is.  I have to make a trip to the grocery store today and my goal is to find one thing to fix from scratch that I can make easily.  Something that is healthy.  Something that we will all like.  One dish at a time that is how I hope to change our family eating habits.
