That's a GREAT way to look at it...and that's exactly what I do. I was shopping last night and I passed aisle after aisle saying, "Nope...nope...nope...nope...". Literally, I only went down one aisle and that was to get peanut butter. Everything else came from the perimeter (beef, chicken, eggs, etc...).
