Grocery Store Madness!

     This past Friday, I made a run to the Shop "n" Save in Rochester. During my travels inside the store, I made a rather frightening discovery. Most of the fruits and vegetables cost more than the junk food slathered throughout the store. I actually compared the prices of Little Debbie Zebra Cakes  to the prices for pineapple, grapes, apples, and bagged salads.

     All of the healthier foods were pricey in comparison to these cakes, potatoe chips, and candy bars. As if it isn't already difficult to eat healthy foods, people have to have echoing wallets as well? I always thought there were no negatives to eating healthy! Organic foods are even more expensive. Because of this I only buy organic foods on sale.
    
     All I can truly say is that I hope to find a well-paying job upon my graduation because I am going to need a substantial amount of money to pay for healthy eating habbits! Instead of Buggs Bunny pulling out a carrot from the ground, the animators should have considered giving him dollar bills to eat instead. Don't worry Buggs! I hear the paper which dollars are made from provide a good source of roughage!

To Illustrate my point even more here is a link:

  1. Glad to see you got started. This post comments on something we already see is true from the link you provide (nice touch btw). What's your spin on it? The black background isn't really working here.
