this sums up what is wrong with americans (major food snobbery ahead)
Today at the grocery store I was looking for mixed greens in the bagged salad section. Guess what they had? A "veggie-lovers" salad. Um, isn't all salad made from veggies? I mean, yeah there are fruit salads and bean salads and stuff, but this salad was in the regular salad section thus all the salads in this section were made from vegetables. And the best part? It consisted mostly of iceberge lettuce, carrots and purple cabbage...only the carrots and cabbage were in bigger chunks than normal. I am sure that all the frumptastics of the world with their carts loaded up with wonderbread and sunny delight will think that this salad is way healthier for their little bratlies because it is a "veggie lover" salad. I can see it now. Mom wispering to her man, "Honey, don't tell the kids, but I bought the veggie lovers salad tonight. *giggle* I dumped it out of the bag so they won't see. I bet they won't even notice. I'll get those little dickens to eat their veggies. Dr Phil said that it's okay to pull the wool over their eyes if it means keeping them healthy." Man: "It doesn't have any sprouts in it, does it? I don't eat hippy food, ya know." And we all know salad is healthier in a bag anyway, none of those icky germs or anything.
Okay that is all I have to say today. Off to work AGAIN. I hate Thursdays.
