Hello there!
Welcome to The Grocery Edit, your weekly guide to navigating the grocery store with confidence and clarity.
I'm Brittany, a registered dietitian passionate about cutting through the noise of food marketing and misinformation. My goal is to help you make informed, balanced choices, without the overwhelm. Each week, I share thorough, approachable insights grounded in science and focused on real-life, practical solutions
What you can expect:
Every Saturday, I publish a new issue that explores the world of food through one of four rotating themes:
🥦 Ingredient Deep Dives – Unpacking what’s behind buzzwords like “natural flavours” or “seed oils” with science-backed explanations.
🛒 Grocery Aisle Guides – Focused walk-throughs of specific product categories (like protein bars or cereals), complete with product recommendations and smart shopping tips.
🧪 Product Reviews – Honest, detailed evaluations of popular and emerging food products.
🔍 Label Reading Tips – How to decode nutrition labels, ingredient lists, and marketing claims to make informed decisions.
🥙 Realistic weekday recipes for your 9-to-5.
In addition to the weekly newsletter, I occasionally publish additional paid-subscriber-only posts that dive into hot topics, like new nutrition studies making headlines or trending ingredient claims and processed food narratives that deserve a closer, evidence-based look.
