Whole Foods

Last night I went into Whole Foods for a few items.  I was interested in a frozen gluten-free pizza and was drawn to the Amy's brand since I know they make natural and organic foods.  As I looked at the crust options which were organic flour, cornmeal and rice.  I was immediately drawn to the rice crust since it is both gluten-free and less likely to cause inflammation but it was vegan with fake cheese or no cheese and I wanted cheese!  I then considered the cornmeal option since I've enjoyed that type of crust in then past. Curious about the inflamamation factor, I googled 'cornmeal inflammation' and was surprised to find it was so high at -417! No way!  I then googled organic flour and I came across an article that said organic wheat flour was not good for you, so I assumed organic white flour certainly wouldn't be.  In the end, I chose the rice crust option and decided to add my own cheese to it, goat cheese was my choice. I left Whole Foods with some great items including their cold-pressed juices and sweet potato chips but I was also reminded that not everything in Whole Foods is healthy for me and I need to remember to read and research the ingredients as I continue to address my inflammation.  Thanks to my buddy Michelle for inspiring me to log this experience.
