meat, if eaten sparingly, can be part of a healthy diet. Even beef. Toxicity depends on dose and frequency.
these can really go a long way(I eat spaghetti everyday). I usually keep each of these items in stock for quick fixes and run to the grocery for as needed items like fresh, unique vegetables(ones I don't can't eat over and over like tomatoes) such as asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. Canned soups are good, but I reccommend washing dumping the juicein the can to get out some of the sodium. I usually eat an entire can in a sitting and I don't think I need to have that many mgs of sodium in one meal(it's about a 1/3 more than the RDA). Of course, if you are in good health you can metabolize anything with few negative consequences. Honestly, your list is too expensive, udp.
also, don't eat lettuce unless you hate life. The resources and cost that go into making a head of lettuce far outweigh their nutritional benefits. There are barely any calories and think how much fuel, fertilizer, and labor went into making something with almost no fucking calories!! It bothers me. leave the leaf alone. And no, supporting industry doesn't benefit anyone.
