The best $2 you can spend in the grocery store

The Mediterranean diet that fits in a backpack

The supplement industry has built a billion dollar business around nutrients you can get from a $3 tin on almost any shelf, in any grocery store, in any country on the planet.

Most protein shakes have 10 ingredients. Fish oil is $40 a bottle. B12 is $30. A tin of sardines costs less than $2.

This is no wellness fad. It’s a grotesquely lopsided math equation even a baboon wouldn’t ignore.

Meanwhile the entire world is panicking about wages not rising with inflation, gas hitting $5 a gallon, and groceries costing an arm and a leg. Fear not. There’s an eject button.

Ahem. Tinned sardines. Sent to its room and forgotten about because it comes in a can.

Here’s why you should be eating these little fish instead of your $12 breakfast sandwich.
