I used to laugh at the crazy people who shopped at whole foods...

for wasting their money on "organic products". Now that's all you can buy. Even the regular food at the grocery store has so many additives.


walk around your normal grocery store. find regular products (non meat, veggies) that don't have sugar in them. It's hard. really really really hard. ever tying has sugar in it. when i say reverting I mean everything.


you can't even ****ing by eggs at the regular grocery store anymore. They feed **** and crap to the chickens to keep costs down and you are getting just as much bad crap from the eggs. Eggs aren't even eggs anymore.


Baked Chicken is a staple of my diet. About a year ago i noticed that every time I ate chicken, i would get really tired and really sleepy. I switched over to organic hippy people chicken lol, haven't had a problem sense. the additives in the chicken at the regular grocery store are ****ing me up.


my son has been screaming for fish sticks all day yesterday so i got my lazy ass up and went to whole foods as I mean, we just don't keep fish sticks in the house and i just paid $6.99 for a ****ing pack of gluten free fish sticks. 7 ****ing dollars for a pack of fish sticks lol.


But I can afford it. Most grown men with good jobs can afford to eat healthy. But what if you can't?


just venting somewhat. I kinda wish the government ran / managed the food industry. not the FDA I mean really managed.

My cousin has chickens. Farm eggs are the best. I've had farm-slaughtered chicken before and it's the best I've ever had. It needs hardly any salt to taste good. Tomatoes are my thing - I have greenhouse full of them right now, as well as a huge collection of heirlooms in the garden outside. I think the tomato represents the taste of our food going into the sh!tter more than any other food item. People have no idea what they are really supposed to taste like - it's not that crunchy pink thing on your fast food sandwich.

Whole Foods is for people with more money than sense. You can get better food at your local farmer's market. Small farmers are also now selling shares in their farm that pay out food each month - you literally get a share of whatever they produced that month on the farm. The closer you are to its production, the higher the quality gets. Whole Foods will double the price and add a week or two of time as compared to getting the food from the farmer.

Growing your own garden is something else you need to do if you care about getting quality food. If you think you're too busy, it's not hard to set up automated systems to water it for you. Kids don't understand how food comes from plants until they see it happen.

You, sir, are having a dose of first-world problems.

If you can't afford organic chickens? Then you buy the crappy chicken. Food comes first, worry about healthy differences later.

Once you are able and can afford to make these choices, then you may, by all means, switch to organic chickens. When people are hungry, they don't give a sh!t about what they eat. This is why some regions eat ****roaches, rats, milipedes, and what not.

just because they eat dirt sammiches in africa doesn't give the government the right in america to stand by why corporations put additives and sugar in every product in the grocery store.
