Be aware of: Misleading food labels. Just because there is a Fair Trade label on the packaging, does not mean what's inside is 100% sustainable of supporting the famer or the family's who work the land.

Buying direct or from caring independent shops and online shops, who know where it comes from.


Storage of food, provided they're in a sealed bag or container.


Canned food, avoid pork and chicken due to high linoleic acid content. Another option is canned beef, which has long shelf-life and doesn't require a freezer. Look for varieties that use salt as the only preservative. Canned wild Alaskan salmon, mackerel and sardines are also good options. They contain healthy protein and fat while being low in toxic water pollutants and heavy metals. Just make sure they're canned in water, not oil, as you can be guaranteed that it'll be the worst oil possible. This is true even if it claims to be "olive oil." Other nutritious foods with long shelf-life include:


Butter, ghee and coconut oil — These healthy fats are very low in linoleic acid (LA) and are ideal for cooking and remain stable even without refrigeration.


Organic beef broth and/or collagen powder — Beef broth is an ideal source of collagen, but organic grass fed collagen powder will stay fresh longer. Collagen is the most common and abundant of your body's proteins, and is required for bone health, tissue integrity and repair.


The most important Vitamin: Vitamin K2, linked to the benefits of Vitamin D
