You Gonna Eat That?

Why is it that grocery stores, at least in the US, got together and decided to not only buy the worst food possible for us to consume, but to further this insane poisoning by producing a store on every corner?

Here's the thing. Most people probably don't notice this. Obviously so, or else the big chains would be out of business. I noticed it because in order to live normally, I have to. See I was blessed with the stomach of a 70 year old right out of the gate. People like me suffer usually from some stomach acid issues combined with asthma because of the toxins we take in from food, water or anything else we consume. If you are in disbelief, go grab something you bought at the store. Turn that puppy over and read the ingredients ALOUD. If you sound like you are just learning to read or like you suddenly developped a rainman complex, you are probably reading some chemical that you have never heard of.

How about any partially hydogenated XXXX or high fructose XXXX. That translates to trans fat and sugar. Your bread probably has at least one if not both. That means the sandwiches that should be a good, light meal are bad for you on all accounts - mayo is bad... period, processed meat is terrible and cage raised with more hormones than that bitch you wish you never dated in high school, and the cheese is from who knows where.

I should probably point out that I eat well, or at least as well as the grocery store allows. I never go out to eat at lunch (I bring it to work), I eat lots of fruit and yogurt for breakfast, and I eat light dinners like soups or chicken. I rarely eat red meat, even more rarely drink sodas, never drink coffee, and drink almost only water. Granted I like to drink, but in truth that is only like 2 nights a week. All of this should add up to healthy or at least somewhat, but all signs point to the exact opposite. Truthfully, I don't think I would be doing much worse if I ate out every meal. Even the water you drink, trendy bottled water or otherwise, unless it is reverse osmosis filtered water, has some toxin in it.

My point is, why do the people that run these stores continue to poison people?

Truthfully, you probably won't feel the effects of this crap until you are too old to care. Not only that, it's cheaper and lasts longer. Typical American attitude suggests that our society is more price point than anything else. Well not me. I never have been. So I suppose I will join ranks with the dreaded "rich hippies" at Whole Foods and Central Market that I used to despise so much. I damn the big grocers for driving me to this. BLAST!
