I truly believe there is nothing worse that you can do to yourself and your family than shop at a Supermarket–Safeway, Wal-Mart, Jewel, Albertson’s–it doesn’t matter. I understand that it’s difficult. But do you understand that it’s our future? This isn’t any activist diatribe. This shit is real.
Consider:
What do you think you smell in the laundry detergent aisle? Hint: it ain’t fucking lemons and it sure as shit has never been fresh. That’s called "out-gassing" as in chemical leakage. Notice an new allergies lately?
How has sugar crept into everything our kids eat? Yogurt, cheese, lunch meat, you name it. Attention Deficit Disorder, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure???? Why are these problems on the rise in our children?
If you really want to freak yourself out, play around on Google, here’s a topic: try "packaged foods" + acceptable + insects.
Have you ever been to kelloggs.com? Fucked up.
My husband makes fun of me because I can’t/won’t/refuse to enter any supermarket for any reason at any time–much like a cat refuses to enter a swimming pool. The supermarket is the belly of the beast, my real life Mordor. I freak out. I exhibit with-drawl-like symptoms. The lights, the smells, the putrid meat, the frozen food aisle–all conspire against me. I have a major Boo Radley moment. Every time.
And don’t even talk to me about Walgreen’s. I cannot go into a Walgreen’s.
So thank you Mark Morford of the San Francisco Gate for giving me the solace that I am not crazy. Or at least, someone else is crazy just like me:
