The Best Lunch Meat To Buy At The Grocery Store...And What To Avoid!
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- You have been asking for a review of lunch meat and deli meat, so I headed back to the grocery store to do a deep dive. Even though lunch meats are processed, you can still find some really high quality ones, it's all about reading the ingredients, as usual. Try to buy organic turkey, ham, or chicken, and look for minimal ingredients on the back without any nasty preservatives. Applegate is the winner in the lunch aisle, but you can also buy some pretty good lunch meat from oscar mayer naturals, ALDI, and Trader Joe's. The average deli meats are loaded with lots of preservatives you don't want to put in your body, lots of salt, brine, and fillers. Buy the best quality lunch meat you can find, it's worth putting good ingredients in your body! Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

I started cooking whole turkey breast in the insta pot and slicing it for lunch meat!! So inexpensive and taste so much better. Easy too. 😊
Great idea
👍
Me too.
What brand do you buy?
That sound's great to me! I need to purchase an instapot!!
Please do a video on multivitamins, probiotic, fish oil, etc!!!!!!!!
tlwayman yes please do
on my list now!!!
PLEASE!! I was about to ask that
Melatonin & BCAAs also protein shakes? I go towards Syntha 6 edge for the lower sugar than their original
Dam I love the shirt
I love that Bobby is pointing out the good lunch meats to customers. I wish I had someone pointing out the healthier options to me while shopping. Sometimes I have to grocery shop after my hemodialysis treatment and after treatments I get brain fog really bad so I have trouble making decisions or choices of such simple things that I normally don’t have to think twice about. Like the foods I buy. Add to that I have to consider the amount of cooking I have to do to even feed myself. Kidney failure is exhausting and most days I don’t even have the strength to make toast, let alone bake my own bread first… which I used to do. I miss my whole food cooking when I knew exactly what ingredients I was eating, now it’s just a long, drawn out game of russian roulette.
Listen to Bobby, take his advice and do as much as you can to protect & preserve your health.
Bobby, testimonial here. You are definitely making a difference in people's lives.
A couple months ago, I stumbled across your CZcams offerings. Since then, I've changed a lot of things in my diet and shopping. Needless to say, eating healthy isn't cheap but neither is a bypass...I've suffered from Gerd for approximately 30 years. All my doctor has done is prescribe ppi's. Since taking your advice, I've reduced my ppi usage. I go for my annual physical next week and hope to come off my statin. My BP is stable and my energy has increased. I take your app out whenever I'm at the store. Keep up the great work and thank you sir.
I love your videos. They promote good health. Thank you lots. 😊😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just want to say how grateful I am for what you do for all of us. You’ve educated us on turning our lives around and avoiding sickness in a long term. Its because of you I’ve not only lost weight but improved everything in my life from being more focused at my Job to having more energy throughout the day to accomplishing more. I’ve tried to watch all of your videos and I’m addicted to it because its just full of usefulness that no one can dis agree with. I hope the world opens its eyes to these things and that more people are aware of it so that we can all live a better life. Thank you Bobby 🤗.
Well said! I too am grateful for this information. It sheds so much light.
I buy grass-fed organic chuck roast - around 2 pounds - and slow cook it in my crock pot with garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and a can of French onion soup. Makes a week’s worth of lunch meat and tastes wonderful.
You commented about someone cutting out carrageenan, I too had the same issue with my gut. My doctors could not figure what was causing my gut problems and after several tests and several doctors I decided to try and research it myself. When I saw your videos, I decided to take a lot of notes and cut out some of those products in my diet. Major game changer for me. It was an unbelievable difference, I've never felt better. So thank you so much for your knowledge.
Costco’s oven roasted turkey breast (big chunk wrapped in plastic with different weights) is very good and clean. I slice it up thin, and put a daily dose of slices in zip lock bags in the freezer. I pull one out in the evening put it in the fridge and it’s defrosted by morning. Great with mashed potatoes.
Thanks for all the heads up on all those terrible ingredients in processed lunch meats! I had no idea. No wonder everybody had gut issues.
gut issues and more..they making us sick
We need more Bobby and Art in the world! You guys helping so many people!! God bless because you’re helping me and so many others!!!
you are so sweet...we are working on cloning ourselves ;)
@@BobbyParrish good luck
Amen! 💜
I wish we got prices like this back 😢. Insane how applegate went from $4.50 a package to now $8.50
Greed
No, it’s called Democrat/communist. People saying we need higher wages for entry level jobs. Fast food workers are getting paid 20+ an hour here in San diego. What do you expect for the price of your food. The company wont last if they don’t raise the prices
@@ugabuga1361 no its called greedflation. Record profits are being had by these companies.
Bidenomics
@@ugabuga1361bs they can afford to pay the workers fast food restaurants make a ton of money . Not like a mom and pop store .
Loved when you stopped and helped shoppers! We need more like you!
Is it possible to do a video about sliced meat from behind the counter?
I LOVE when Bobby entices/helps customers on the spot! It's actually a type of ministry in action and it makes me have some renewed faith in the hope of humanity. Keep it up Bobby, you're saving our lives, one shopping trip at a time!
I agree!
It's because he actually cares about peoples health and not just on youtube to make a buck
😂😂😂
I think it's douchey and pretentious.
@@khall187 You are what's wrong with the world!
I love that Bobby is willing to share his knowledge with those around him. He's such a cool dude! Also, gotta love Art! They are such a good team. Thanks for sharing this info, it was much needed!!
So finaly which one is good
I discovered your videos a few days ago and have been watching them since. I am so glad you covered lunch meat in a video. I have been allergic to nitrates and preservatives since I was 7 years old and would have migraines as a result. So, fast forward 40 years later and we love Applegate and I am so happy to learn so much more from you. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos! I've had digestion issues for years and you helped me to change my eating habits and be and informed consumer! I never felt better! Thank you so much for all you do to help us!
On a severely strict budget, trying to get back on our feet here. Been shopping at Aldi's so thank you for showing that they have something healthy for us for now. Love that you're helping the customers eat healthy too! 💜
Hope you guys are doing better financially
Aldi not Aldi’s!!
@@brookeschultz5037Aldi’s!!!!
For some unknown reason I always say Aldi's too. I need to work on that! Thanks for the reminder :)
Aldi's is the best budget friendly products. a bit of Trivia, I just learned in a video here that Aldi and trader Joe are owned by cousins,german from europe,thats one reason the Chocolate at Aldi is so good and cheap,they buy from belgium and austria,how cool is that. also why the food quality seems similar but they have different items.
A video about seafood/fish, wild caught vs. farm raised. Which is the best fish to get from which countries.
Also a video on frozen veggies/fruits. I try to always buy fresh produce but sometimes theyre convenient to have for quick dinners, etc. Which ones are good and which produce is best to avoid.
One more video idea: Hurricane or emergency pantry essentials. I live in Orlando, FL and may need to stock up on the canned goods soon. I dont want to be stuck eating spam or tuna! Lol
I recently picked up a bag of frozen wild caught Alaskan salmon and turned it over to read the fine print. It was caught in Alaska, packaged in China, and finally landed in my US grocery store. So how long did it take for all that?
Frozen is still good
@@monii_G I agree frozen wild salmon is good but not from China , unfortunately, seems to be common though
I always go for wild caught regardless of location. Better If not from china
Omg !!! You just saved my life !!! I have crohns disease and I need to know what I can eat. God has definitely sent you for all of us. Thank you soooo !!! Much
Thanks so much! I found you when you did. video with Thomas, as I am following Keto- and I love your view points and knowledge, coupled with his. You have a fun personality and I love that your daughter helps out too! I love that you think about us regular folk and help us live a healthier day to day life- like what you did with the lady in the video on picking a better lunch meat. Thanks again!
Thanks Bobby for continuing to educate us, Applegate it is then! 🙌
good choice!!!!
It will be good if the government can see what they giving these children in school there were these children get sick
Problem is the govt doesn’t care what the schools give the kids to eat
@@55ostaR I have no idea what you’re saying but no one is forced to eat the junk they feed at school. The food at school was gross to me so I brought my own.
So cool to see you helping out the buyers with the right choices!! So helpful..I take pics on my phone and insert into my Groc lists...so I'll remember. :)
Do we need to pan roast or cook deli meat before eating? Like sausage and salami
Me too😊
I’m obsessed with these videos! I too always read labels and ingredients; but I don’t always know what the ingredients mean!! Why do I feel like a grocery nerd?? It’s literally what we put in our bodies. So important. Thanks flavcity!
Dude I love this video, seeing Bobby guide people away from the bad stuff and showing them the good stuff is very inspiring. He is like a grocery store super hero hahaha. I wish he did this in more videos.
Applegate needs to cut bobby a check 😅
as do many others!!!...my routing and account number are... ;)
Yes👍👏👏👏
Yes! Seriously!!
They probably already do
Lunch meat in general you want to avoid. But if you must go with the Premium at a good quality deli where the slice it for you. Not something you’re gonna find usually at a Walmart or Target
What I love the most about your videos is that you always help the person shopping next to you. They walk away with some info on what to buy as a nice bonus from you guys being in the store that day! Subscriber for life❤❤❤
I think you are literally saving lives with this info
It’s the cost though - thrice the price / when you have a family of 5..this get really expensive
Hospital bills are more expensive
Don't have kids
@@themacocko6311 if you keep an active lifestyle you will be fine eating deli meat 😹 as you would other foods consumed in moderation
@@ToothlesstheNightFury510 that’s the #1 rule, eat in moderation
@@urbanumbra6170 yeah as an runner, package handler, dog Walker, helping around the house, I’ve found I can eat a lot and plenty of the foods I want to eat and still feel great 🤤
you are simply AWESOME! Just discovered you and your channel, changing my life. I lost 35 lb on keto, cancer survivor, 66 years old, just want to learn to cook. How great of you to help those customers. Ordering your cookbook tonight! THANK YOU!!
Can you do a video on protein powders, protein bars, and energy drinks. Thanks! You guys do an amazing job. I find myself quoting you all the time. ♥️👍
Yessss, although he doesn’t look the bodybuilder type so idk how much knowledge he’d have on the matter. My trainer who IS a bodybuilder thoigh said the BEST protein bar you can get is the Met RX Super Cookie Crunch. It’s the highest in protein and tastes really good. Don’t just start eating them instead of meals though, they’re only for when you don’t have access to any premade meals you have
@@DH_Artist Thank you!!
The people in the beginning who turn around 😂😂😂 the look on their faces got me dead 💀
I became aware of carrageenan trying to ease my mom's GI problems. It is in so many things. We first had to change to better yogurt. A lot of store brands contain it. Also had to change my chicken brand. Even some whole raw chickens have carrageenan. Getting rid of it helped some. Other work still to do.
Bobby’s new side hustle: In-grocery store consultations 🤣
You’re So kind to help out those shoppers! I’d be so excited to see you two in a grocery! What fun you are. This was yet another great eye opener, thank you!
Shills
Thank Goodness!! Your out there checking the ingredients for us! Thank You so much.
Love your information. And you have so many beautiful stores accessible to you. I'm in a more rural area, and although I don't mind driving, or online shopping, I appreciate your showing healthier options at Walmart. I was not even aware how DIFFERENT each and every Walmart store has in it's stock?? Thanks for sharing your wealth of information! I am so much more conscious now, about what I put in my body.
Thank you Bobby & Art for making these videos!! You guys are amazing & helping so many people stay healthy.
Great stuff! Thank you for all your efforts and sharing important information.
This was a great video. I was looking for better cold cut options since my kids love ham and cheese sandwich. Thank you posting this. I also got the Bobby approved app and I love using it when I go shopping. You are the best
You are my hero Bobby for explaining everything about foods we eat! Plus you’re so nice and thoughtful!!! 💙👍🏻
I'm so happy to have found your channel. (Hi, Art!) I love that you help people right along while you are filming. Thanks for posting.
Would appreciate a video on Coffee beans / tea I see so many reading artificial/ natural flavors 🧐
next month!!! lots of research for that one
@@BobbyParrish we appreciate it!
Yes, coffee!!!!
Grind your own 😂😂😂😂
FlavCity with Bobby Parrish Im sure youll include difference btw K cups and regular...i hope im ok using k cups!!! 😱 also check out my friends coffee company, she might be able to help with research

My friend you’ve gained a subscriber. I especially appreciated you taking the time to educate and help customers.
Thank God for good, honest and brave people like you. May your message continue to resonate across to people. Well done, thank you
Wow thank you for this video! I’ve been cutting back on eating out for lunch at work and have been having a hard time finding a healthy and tasty lunch meat I love how you educate customers around you 👍🏻
Wow!!!! This was so eye opening 😭😭 thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for explaining everything so well. I've been sharing your videos with those who need to know what to look out for diabetics even things I didn't know, but I'm learning for my husband. I've tried some things that were organic YUK but maybe it wasn't any good in the first place. Thanks again
You're giving tips on what causes colitis flares, you're a saint. Post surgery but I'm still focusing on keeping what's left of my whole digestive tract healthy. Really simple tips, too.
LOVE your videos!!! Love that you care about animal conditions!!! Thank you for all the work you do to bring us info!!! A grateful thank you!!!❤️ great lessons!!! 🐾😘❤️
Bobby, please help us navigate coffee selection. Thank you for doing our homework and bringing us the great tips.
Love it when you help the customers
I just bought 2 of your cookbooks. I’m so excited! I can’t wait for it to come in.
Thank you for this video! I always just assumed getting lunch meat fresh cut from the deli was best. In fact half way through this video I was thinking - “good thing I buy out lunch meat from the counter”. I will be looking at ingredients and really scrutinizing!! I’ve learned so much from you guys. I would love to see the best meats and cheese from Trader Joe’s video soon!! My apologies if you’ve already done it.
Can’t wait until there is a compiled list to carry with me while I shop😊
I like how you help some of the customers pick the better product. Great job!
You are teaching me so much . Even my husband is listening, well sometimes. But that’s a beginning 😀. Thank you for your passion and your teachers heart .
I love how Bobby informing us to buy better quality and us the consumer have the power to change how we receive our food. Where as once we start buying better foods the competition will eventually have to change for the consumer or they would eventually lose profits. Keep it up Bobby I to have changed some food habbits as well 🤘
Bobby and Art, great job! This video is not only educational it is entertaining as well. 😁✌🏽 I just love Bobby, you’re so tenacious and very passionate. You can’t beat that! More power to Flavcity!
thanks for that!!!!
you’re doing a great thing spreading this information
Thank you for these videos. I am reading my food labels now because of you & am being more conscious of what I eat
Thank you so much for educating us we really appreciate you
Yes I needed this I alway go to the store and have no clue what to get for lunch meat thank you
Happy new year and thank you. Reading so many more labels. 🙂
Awesome shirt. I’m sure it was awkward when other customers came up at first, but you warmed right up to them. They seemed like they genuinely appreciated your recommendation. Thank you and Art both for taking the time to make this video. Great information.
Next video, can you do a video on vitamins, multivitamins, prenatal vitamins and supplements
next month!
Excellent request!!! and weight gain powders and Herbalife like products like at Wal-Mart and stuff that you substitute for a meal 😁
I feel pretty well educated on Vitamins because I've been taking them for 40 years, actually more! I want to heads up people and get their opinions and the fact that Walmart House brand Spring Valley vitamins and supplements, at least the ones that I have used, I just recently noticed on the label says "Made in China"! This concerns me! How do you feel?
Thank u so much !... i appreciate ur time and effort!... I actually take notes! Lol ! I’m a caregiver to my sister and I want her and I both to have the best possible food ...it’s important for her health so I listen and I learn and I think you ! 🤗 blessings!
yes it is!!! i am coming out with an ebook shopping guide soon;)
New subscriber…loving all of your valuable content. Drove over 2 hours today to the closest Costco because of your videos. I’ve wanted to go for years and it was totally worth the wait. Bonus: turkey breast was on sale and I knew what to look for.
So much positive info! Thank you guys!
Love! Could you make a video on super foods? Or the most nutrient dense foods at the grocery store, for those of us with anemia, b12 deficiency, etc ??? Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Bobby & Art
THANKS again for the great information and including information for vegetarians. We the consumers don't realize how much power we have. If we don't buy foods with unhealthy ingredients , companies may stop putting unhealthy ingredients in them. THANKS for informing us about those foods that are unhealthy for us!!!!❤❤❤
Bobby is a great nutrition teacher .Thanks Bobby
Very good. Thank you. I NEEDED this for my family.....
So helpful! Thank you, Bobby and Art! Although this now means that I’ve had my last bologna sandwich 🥪.... 😂. Keep the outtakes coming!
As we get busier and busier, it's hard not to rely on prepackaged foods and honestly not all of them are terrible, alot of them just have the same stuff you would put if you made it at home. The convenience is worth sacrifice in freshness, and im glad you help make the choice much easier :)
Thanks for keeping all of us informed.
Thank you so much for these videos! I am really learning a great deal.
Your videos changed my entire grocery shopping, thank you!
I’d love to see an alternative noodle episode. Thanks guys! I have definitely changed my shopping habits since watching you.
Second this would love to make a ramen!
Kelp noodles are really good. It takes on the flavor of whatever u cook. Look it up on CZcams how to prepare before eating using baking soda and lemon. Very good noodles . Very light
So glad I stumbled upon this video, thank you for what you do!
Thank You Bobby , you save lots of lives . I am a mother and I feel bad that many children are sick now because of the food. You educated the parents to feed their kids healthy food.
Can you not read a label yourself? 🙄
No one but Bobby can make me look for “Carrageenan” in food 😂😂
he's the best
Lol
I usually go to my local Amish market and use their fresh roasted chicken for sandwiches for school lunches. Guess this is cheating but it works for me. Mama guilt is real! Love your videos !
Wish we had one here... Awesome!
It's not cheating - it's wisdom.
Elizabeth Porter
Your comment is interesting and something I've never heard. I have a cookbook from an Amish/Mennonite site and the ingredients can be pretty funky for salads and even baked goods. I am a bit more wary of those things but I feel safer with the meats and eggs. Can you give me an example of a questionable item ?
Elizabeth Porter
Geeze....sounds pretty shady. Hope it's just a rumor. I live in NJ and a drivable distance to Lancaster Co. PA. The market I go to is run by Amish from there. I'm going to try to investigate a little into this. That you for the heads up.
Elizabeth Porter I have been warned 😳. Thank you....like my local Aldi too. 👍🏻😋
Very informative video . Thanks for making this!
I like how Bobby jumps in to inform customers to make healthy choices of deli meats! Before watching Bobby and Thomas channels I had no idea of what I was buying ingredient-wise and how some ingredients are so bad health-wise!
Funny. I went to Target yesterday, I couldn’t buy anything there. All natural in
Ingredients. I left w/ Blueberries only !🙄.
Lol😄😄
they have lots of good stuff there~ !
Learning about what all natural means decrease my grocery list
@@cardinep4213 Are you confusing the phrase "all natural" with natural flavors?
Ppl should educate themselves.yes!
You have changed my life!!! Thank you and Art for all your hard work and giving us the information we deserve! Shame on food companies for how they raise animals and the crap they put into our food It’s unfortunate that low income people have to get what they can afford.
im low income and there has to be a way for us to eat healthy. Everyone deserves to eat healthy. I agree with you
If you have an Aldi's near you go there you can get quality food at way lower prices. I love it
@@luvfall626
You’re the man, Bobby! Thanks for all your help!
Love how they help out customers in between takes
Happy Saturday Bobby & Art! I’ve been looking forward to your videos all week! Mad love ❤️
thanks Sophie, hope you enjoyed!
I would like to see a video about tea. I'm a tea drinker. Don't like coffee!
OMG, I was just about to type this exact thing. I would like to know the best and worst brands, especially of herbal teas. I want to know about brands like Bigelow and Celestial.
Take up coffee
Ditto!
I love tea 🍵!💕
Tina Marsh Yes please!
this is SO incredibly helpful! Thank you!
You guys are great. Thanks for all you do.
Let’s try Oscar Mayer Natural then. Thanks for letting us know what kind of deli meats to buy. We just received your Keto book and looking forward and trying out your recipes. ✌🏽
This is MIND BLOWING shopping never the same
Very happy I found your channel. So good. Thanks.
What a great video! Thank you for all that information. Next time I go shopping I'll be looking at the ingredients extra hard to make sure it doesn't have any of those things lol
Art is adorable😄
I love how Bobby gets a few customers in the know along the way 👍
I usually stayed away from organic stuff because of the price but I've realized I've got this stomach condition and maybe all these added ingredients and chemicals for flavoring might help me if I wasn't eating them and instead made the food taste better with other organic ingredients instead 😅
I’m hooked on the channel. I learned so much.
Thanks for taking the time and effort.
I love that you took a moment to help someone choose a healthier version, very sweet.
