What is the GroceryMiracle.com project all about?

The SOLUTION to helping consumers discern between what TO buy,
and what NOT to buy, in their grocery trips.

For whatever reason, you have found this website, or this website has found you! We need your help. This is a national effort to redefine our food supply and all the processes involved thereof. Please take a few moments to read how you can make a difference and sign up to do so. There is something here for everyone to do. You may not be able to do it "all", but you can do something, and together we can ALL do it!

Step one: Label the food "safe" or "unsafe"

The makers of our food products have been fighting labeling for years. They know that if their food is required to have labeling that indicates "made with trans fat", or "made with ingredients that are genetically modified", then the general public may stop buying their products. If the FDA will not step in and require these companies to indicate how the food is made for our safety, then the consumers can! The GroceryMiracle.com project, and myGroceryPlanner.com intends to label the foods and products that we know are safe for consumption by standards different than the FDA (our project is based more on what consumers are asking for).

Step two: Sort the food

In the GroceryMiracle.com and myGroceryPlanner.com project we have been working on database unlike any other that exists in the world. With a database that contains food products that are also linked to every ingredient that makes up that specific food product, the user then has the power to sort out any food product that may contain even one ingredient that may potentially cause harm to that individual specifically. For example, if a user knows aspartame causes an adverse side effect for him alone, he can then sort out any and all products in the database with aspartame as an ingredient. Also, if a user knows that five specific ingredients contribute to their diabetic condition, he or she has the power to filter out any and all products that contain any or all of the five ingredients they wish to avoid. With the power to sort in this manner, grocery lists can now be made that are more favorable to sustaining, or even improving, their health.

Step three: Provide "Healthy" Recipes

Imagine this same web site having the ability to give healthy recipes where the ingredients used in these recipes are specifically tied to the products (which are already tied to the ingredients that make up this product). You would then have the power to select multiple recipes that your family would enjoy for the week, and then have the ability to filter out any recipe that contains a specific product, that may contain a specific ingredient that your body would be allergic to. For example, if a recipe for hamburgers has five ingredients and one of those ingredients is a brand of barbecue sauce that is made with preservatives you already know creates an adverse side effect or rash in one of your children. With this database you could filter the recipe, target the barbecue sauce as a culprit, then make the switch to a different brand of barbecue sauce that is made with all-natural ingredients. You now get to keep making this favorite hamburger recipe for your family and eliminate the consumption of undesired ingredients. We are redefining the term thrown around too often: "healthy". To us, this incorporates foods that DO NOT CONTAIN: preservatives, additives, dyes, synthetic chemicals, genetically modified genes (GM), or anything that is not composed of whole food ingredients. Truly eating healthy is more than just following the Food Pyramid recommendations, it is being aware and conscious of exactly what food (or non food) items you are subjecting your body to.

Step four: Please join our efforts

To create such a database with intense power and ability is an overwhelming and daunting task. We also believe that assembling a powerful team of volunteers dedicating their time and talents to accomplish this goal is nothing short of a miracle. However, God is full of miraculous wonders documented in the Bible and even in the stories and personal testimonies of friends and family you may even know. We commit this project to Him and ask that you join us in being a part of an incredible project that will honor and glorify God in its making, and protect us as a people as we use the project once it is built.
