What to eat?

I've been thinking about this for the last couple of days. What is a person who wants to loose weight and likes to eat crap suppose to eat instead of crap? While I was at the chiropractor yesterday I heard him ask someone if they wanted to join him on a grain free diet for the next 30 days. I thought to myself I should try that, then I remembered the time I tried The South Beach Diet a few years back. After four days I wanted to go on a murdering rampage for a small slice of bread or maybe a cracker. So I thought that's probably not for me. Then I thought I'll just cut out foods that are made with grains, but not dairy and not other starchy foods like potatoes or peas. That shouldn't be too hard. Well I got up this morning, had a cup of coffee (by the way I will NEVER give up my morning coffee without a fight) then decided to eat some breakfast. My first thought was cereal... oh, wait, that's made of grains and sugars, so I had a couple of scrambled eggs. Then I got to thinking, I can't have scrambled eggs every day, ugh. What am I suppose to eat besides that? In comes google. I googled best grain free breakfast foods. Let me tell you most of what I saw made me want to hurl skyward. A breakfast burrito mad with an egg tortilla? How am I suppose to pick that up without it falling apart? Biscuits made with almond flour? I've never heard of almond flour. I wouldn't even begin to know where to look for it much less how to cook with it. Then I had a bright idea. I will just cut out the processed grains and just stick to whole grains. I like oatmeal. I was turned onto Dave's Killer Bread, I like that. Problem solved... well except for the processed foods that still exist in this house. And then there is pasta. Now I've tried the whole wheat pasta and it's like eating sand. I would rather jump on a pitchfork than eat spaghetti made with that. That is another problem I'll have to figure out. How to live without pasta. I'm not sure that can happen.
Of course I can always substitute things with fresh fruits and veggies. Well I don't know if you are aware of this, but the fresh fruits and veggies in the grocery store taste like (pardon my language) shit. I've been researching organic foods and discovered CSA, Community Supported Agriculture. What a great idea. I found a little farm up in Ridgefield that fits in my budget so I'm going to try them out. The problem with that is I have to pay for the season up front and wait until spring before I get anything. What am I suppose to do in the mean time? I guess I'll just have to eat the grocery store cardboard that they try to pass off as food.
Meat. I live in a house of carnivores who love eating meat. I like it, but I don't feel I need to eat it every day. If my husband goes a day without meat he may get violent and if my son cannot have his burger fix he will surely go mad. So I'm stuck buying meat. Mostly red meat and a lot of it. Well a few weeks back I saw a movie called Food Inc. If you like what you're eating now and you don't want to change, DON'T watch this movie. It is truly horrifying what has become of our food system. Corporate greed is killing us in more ways than one. Grass fed beef is the way to go. The problem is where the heck do you find the stuff? In comes google again. I found a farm up in Battle Ground that looks great. Of course there is a problem, they are sold out until June 2012. Nice. Another problem, I'm going to have to buy at least a quarter of a cow. Have you seen how big a cow is? Where on earth am I going to put a quarter of one? I guess I'll need a bigger freezer or I'll have to have a really big BBQ. At any rate the quest for healthy eating and weight loss is going to be difficult and expensive. Ugh.
