* **beef** * should be a staple of everyone's diet, and can be considered one of the most nutritious foods in the world. top choice is freshly cooked organic which is 90% lean or higher. in a pinch something like plain beef patties from Wendy's, Whataburger, In-n-out, etc can suffice. of course steaks are great if cost is not a factor

* **black beans** * can be found either dried, or canned. dried freshly cooked organic is the ideal, with glassed storage being second best. other types of beans may be permissible, but black beans are the crowd favorite ![beans.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX6qBWnC9uGYJkh9WFXjN3atgzFFB19hqR2i8rfWxFSZ2/beans.png)

* **lentils** * can be found either dried or canned. dried freshly cooked organic is the ideal. avoid red or pink lentils. go for the more boring pale brown shade if available ![gettyimages-471463923-612x612.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQWdkMB9g7dQizGCsfVmrgYcDvevRkyZcA3uJoEFoB9q7/gettyimages-471463923-612x612.jpg)

* **white rice** * is a staple for billions of people around the world, and has been for thousands of years. the top choice is from Lotus Foods, followed by Lundberg due to diligence in restricting and monitoring accumulated arsenic levels

* **oatmeal** * organic is critical here due to significant glyphosate exposure in the conventional fields. many brands specifically advertise low-glyphosate. I recommend throwing money at them if possible. I often add bananas or apples, a little salt and a little brown sugar ![41M8uhKFlIL.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXA4hssMxXku1okZP58bpYEBwuZmmHZEHLePYXU767gwF/41M8uhKFlIL.jpg)

* **bananas** * high in potassium low in toxins ![GUEST_8162d58e-0a2f-4aaf-88e8-a488bab34269.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZmuQRMfn2WXasGP5tV4VHBvFjmy4yMJYVKJhfLSHENfz/GUEST_8162d58e-0a2f-4aaf-88e8-a488bab34269.jpg)

* **apples** * the healthiest fruit in the world. assists with inborn detox processes. recommend peeling these ![Screenshot 2024-08-03 163720.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUzEN8wFQbJxRD5LFKdTFThTVpKeNg7wXMDwYoS9NKgPk/Screenshot%202024-08-03%20163720.png)

* **chicken** * freshly cooked organic preferred

* **strawberries** * strong preference for organic - frozen are much more cost effective ![Screenshot 2024-08-03 164559.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ3bvob83cqxeT1XZ1cvVfsyemZv56mztbcmXkAFcf5PG/Screenshot%202024-08-03%20164559.png)

* **white grapes** * strong preference for organic ![Screenshot 2024-08-03 164747.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPu7ZNdhMpEMbL4bxgD5Q8pEuADZsQaBJ9eHNuX3CDp3p/Screenshot%202024-08-03%20164747.png)

* **firehook crackers** * a great snack, minimal ingredients, no refrigeration needed, no utensils, and has a bit of protein unlike most carb snacks

![Screenshot 2024-08-13 181659.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUvbg3FH4z8xZFQ8UyErThMe4jeY9Q18AzskqENozXS9Q/Screenshot%202024-08-13%20181659.png)

* **peeled white potatoes** * a staple for generations, experiments have been done with individuals consuming nothing but potatoes, and they fare quite well. most of the toxicity in potatoes is concentrated in the skin, so best to peel or discard the skin. stick to white potatoes such as russet, and avoid yellows like yukon gold. the yellow color is indicative of beta carotene. as always prefer organic ![GettyImages-171150818-2000-62c2c1b0480449fa9494ad0e2b86bd4a.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVkid2vNgFrineFHrACkzaB4XyXeCCZfsaF9xqe78oTBQ/GettyImages-171150818-2000-62c2c1b0480449fa9494ad0e2b86bd4a.jpg)

* **organic raisins** * tasty snack relatively low in many toxins - organic only ![Screenshot 2024-08-22 110726.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQrGhC4EwhCbNLQVU4qFGGcMHATwQf6ZuFxf6PTXjhTam/Screenshot%202024-08-22%20110726.png)

* **banana chips** * easy to carry and store on-the-go snack full of potassium

* **coconut water** * full of electrolytes and low in toxins, especially so for glassed products

![Screenshot 2024-08-22 111008.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTC1CtsLm3nvxmox431qLGB235YNKC5CtdtDuzNWoqiVX/Screenshot%202024-08-22%20111008.png)

* **sourdough crackers** * basic on the go snack, sourdough crackers, available at Whole Foods. seed oil alert, these do contain copious amounts of sunflower oil, so are certainly not the cleanest food in the list. exercise caution. not recommended with any regularity. may be useful in a bind though ![Crackers_Sourdough_front.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX9dXRL5PjTKQvm6SKncJvBoetqc9SS3hrmhNLHgbU5gJ/Crackers_Sourdough_front.webp)

* **noodles** * must be organic, must not contain eggs, wheat only - as in durum wheat semolina

![Screenshot 2024-09-26 172902.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVp38eR7UgstvpdMUFxB8gJ1haHPPVZKmk6bCusbuUtQz/Screenshot%202024-09-26%20172902.png)

* **sourdough bread** * prefer organic to avoid harmful glyphosate. also avoid breads with fortified wheat which includes iron, niacinamide, and other "vitamins". Sprouts Farmers Market in the United States has the best consistent selections

* **dates** * ancient food of relatively low toxicity, though they do contain a fair amount of copper. also some carotenoids, around 1% that of carrots

![IMG_5589.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQKEsH92XyeizuRf6XauaaVwfFQoE1QCVuvYkTrwN6cvJ/IMG_5589.png)

* **turkey** * makes for good sandwiches. prefer as clean as you can find with minimal added ingredients

![IMG_5591.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfNzWCrwEGxagKjj5riEhLUgorWrNcp6AEVVq4jxgFvzR/IMG_5591.png)

* **Annie's honey graham crackers** * certainly considered a kind of "junk food" but not the worst thing out there. contains unknown amounts of "vitamin" E

* **Dave's bread, plain buns** * much prefer sourdough but this bread works in a pinch. widely available. could be cleaner though, contains some amount of seed oils, though low
