Lifehacker Tip: Shop Healthier at the Store Perimeter

Design affects us whatever we are doing; the design and layout of a grocery store affects how we shop and what we buy. Lifehacker has a suggestion for healthier shopping: stick to the perimeter.

That's where all the fresh foods are. The less you find yourself in the central aisles of the grocery store, the healthier your shopping trip will be. Make it a habit--work the perimeter of the store for the bulk of your groceries, then dip into the aisles for staples that you know you need.

Perhaps the produce section on one wall, but maybe not the cheese and meat on the other two.

Better to visit the farm stands on the perimeter of the city.

At my local co-op the center is the best: a huge bulk section. It depends on where you shop, ususally only the large chains set their stores up in these predictable ways.

Better not to enter the supermarket at all. Support your local independent stores and actually feel some community spirit as you hand over your money.
