I'll play devil's advocate, here Skylady. If you're working in the private sector, the day may come when the insurance industry would be thrilled to see what kind of foods you're purchasing at your local supermarket.
The insurance industry would pay big bucks to the supermarket chains for this information, and then either (1) deny you health insurance because you
purchased foods high in fat and/or cholesterol or (2) raise your health insurance premiums dramatically. To my knowledge, this hasn't happened yet, but who knows what the future holds. Mission creep, anyone?
