    Have you ever wanted to grab someone and just shake em? I really had to control myself the other day to not do just that.
    I'm in Walmart (which puts me in a bad mood anyway but we have no other choice here really.) And this woman in front of me had 2 carts full of junk! It took them about 30 minutes to check her out, so I had to sit and watch as said junk went across the belt... 4 types of cereal, all of them artificially flavored and coated with 3 inches of sugar. Rice A Roni, Hamburger Helper, economony thing of ketchup, another of syrup, potato chips, various other pasta-in-a-box items and microwave dinners. Wow, I can't even go on because it's making me sick.
    So normally this wouldn't bother me, because normally they'd have some household items along with it, or a few fresh items to balance things out. Not the case!!! This woman totaled out her order with $350 of JUNK! I was sooo not intending to be snoopy, but when you're that close and the checker is THAT loud, you can't help but notice these things.
    So yes, I had to resist the urge to shake this woman and say "Good grief lady! Do you realize how much good, healthy, non-processed food you can get for $350?!?!?!" I thought maybe it was for food storage, but no, there wasn't a sign of canned veggies or fruits anywhere.... No cans period. :P

    and they wonder why we're an obese nation...that's how our children are being raised, on garbage!! they know nothing else!! I have a friend that feeds her kid chicken nuggets all the time, by the bag because "that's all he'll eat"...Bull! if I didnt' eat what was on my plate as a kid, I didn't eat! My dad didn't give in and give me a pop tart instead! aaaahhh!

    bouscher, ditto! There was ONE meal on the table, we either ate it or didn't. Do they realize how easy homemade chicken nuggets are?! And how much better they are for you?! And how much more the kids love it?! What I've realized around my house is that the kids will eat what I eat. They'll eat whatever's in the house. If it's not in sight, they don't miss it. They don't crave the sugar and carbs till we make it available for them.
