'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Everything's... too planned.
Well, planning leads to the store being consistently stocked, which makes it easier to actually shop for what one needs, instead of hoping it might be there this week.
But I am a creature of habit. I like to eat, which means I need to shop, and I like knowing that food will be there for me to exchange money for.
Think of The Master's shouting "Mass Production!" and standing in front of 13 shelves with the same frakking product shoved into different packages. Everything's... too planned.
ack! I'll have to shop at Trader Joe's for a while until I get this too apt description out of my head.

I got news for you: TJs' food is mass-produced as well. A lot (most?) of their products are other brands, repackaged through the wonder of mass production, with TJs' name slapped on.
Snake chat freaks me out...phobia, don't ask. People have some damn nerve, looking in people's groceries.(people did this All the time when I was on foodstamps...a pack of marshmallows I bought once got baby-bump levels of scrutiny...NOT a fun moment. Right up there with having my whole Spanish class turn and look at me for "Pot smoking during pregnancy causes birth defects." actually.)

well, hell. I guess Franks is probably the same deal. My only other choice here in Garden Grove (besides Whole Foods) is Fresh & Easy which I know = Tesco. I do shop at the independant butcher whenever I can afford it. Their meatloaf is dreamy.
There's a chart I've seen on various internet places showing how a huge portion of the "natural foods" companies are actually owned by Kraft or ConAgra or one of just a few other huge companies. [link]
Markets don't have all my stuff. So I don't shop exclusively at markets. It's pretty simple. I want my stuff.
Oh my Kashi! Oh my Celestial Seasonings! You destroy my illusions!
I figure unless I'm staring at the guy who pulled the thing out of the ground--or his indentured children who are sullenly tending the booth at the farmer's market--that the corporate food giants have gotten their hands on my food.

This. This is what I meant. If you're buying a brand that's in stores in more than 1 state, odds are super good that it's been mass produced.
Dang, mass production enables people to eat. That's not so bad. This ain't an agrarian society.
