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.)
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got news for you: TJs' food is mass-produced as well
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Markets don't have all my stuff. So I don't shop exclusively at markets. It's pretty simple. I want my stuff.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wanna go home. Tired. Overwhelmed. Can't vent fully right now, am in office. Another round on the clusterfuck rollercoaster and no, it's got nothing to do with the FM. It's the org, all the way.

Pardon me, but this is reminding me of a part in the Wire where cornerboys are having a similar conversation about one of them having a new idea for McDonald's. His friend says "Do you really think Ronald McDonald is gonna sit his clowny ass down and write you a check?"
Inventor dude says "Sure...why not?"
The other guy says "He's gonna lock you away some where and say "Bitch, start making those McNuggets..."
Why did I bring that up? Cause as a writer, I love the chance to type "clowny ass," I suppose.
