I went to the local supermarket the other day to pick up a few things, including fresh
spinach for a dish I was going to make. What they offered was a handful of leaves encased
in a plastic blister pack. But what really rocked me back was the sticker on the shelf,
showing a unit price of nearly twenty dollars!
I decided to skip the spinach. -- Ian

Super markets don't sell food, they sell pre-packaged things that
they say is food. They would only have 3 isles - meat, vegetables
and dry goods, and a small cooler for OJ.

We used to shop at one Safeway store in the area, as they were close,
and
they have one of the best produce sections in the area. A few years
ago
they remodeled and took out a sizable chunk of the isles of food, they
replaced them with Wine. :-(
American's wonder why there is such an obesity problem, they should
start
looking at what is in all that pre-packaged **** that so many people
eat!
