I was planning to make up a list or chart of "good, better, best, & never" for various categories of foods. This website already has one made up for your viewing (& healthy, budget friendly eating) pleasure. Enjoy!

The only thing I would add/change is that poultry is always raised without hormones, while conventional beef almost certainly has been raised with the use of lots of artificial growth hormones. So even though "CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) meat" is listed in the BAD section, I will sometimes compromise and buy conventionally-raised chicken when my budget is really tight, even though I will never make the same compromise for beef.
