The cashier had a look on her face, a mixture of sadness, pity, and panic.
"I don't think that I messed anything up...." she nervously chirped, still attempting to remain professional, as no doubt the managers were probably giving the evil eye and ear to this sweet new cashier.
"Uh, yeah, well let's see,....yeah, well the olive oil added up alot, and the cat food, and well, your meat was really expensive, ...yeah, that's what it came to all right!"
The. Bill Was..........
Oh God. The bill was.....
I can't say it.
I can only write this in really bad french. Le bill ette tres, tres expensive. Quatre hundred et fiftee Euros. I mean, dollars. I stood at the exit, studying the receipt, to see if there was any way it could not be possible that I had broken my all time record, and possibly everyone else's, for the single most costly Whole Foods trip in the history of mankind.
Yeah, I know you're supposed to get the cold pressed olive oil, I read about that, and it was on sale, so I stocked up.
I know all about how we're supposed to get grass fed meat also, so I got me some of that, for my diet meatloaf.
And the vegetables, well, we don't want the vegan husband to ingest a bunch of pesticides do we, and he has to eat his peppers, which he eats about 12 a week, and they are from South America or something, so there's that.
Then there's my baking ingredients, and we only want whole wheat crap, don't we, and no pesticides to retard our children, right.
And then there's the dairy, and gotta stay away from that robine growth hormone crap, and isn't it better to have pastured eggs from local farms that everyone trusts so the damn chickens can be happy and eat bugs!!!
Then there is cereal and even bread, which has to be organic to avoid soy lechitin and crap like that!!!!!
The coffee. I admit this is probably not necessary, but it's brewed locally, it's organic and really, once you try it, you never can drink regular coffee ever ever again without gagging. And. It was on sale, so, I, you know......STOCKED UP.
There you have it. The more you read about our @#$^^ ed up food system, the more money you spend on food that doesn't poison you. And what kind of choice is that? Go broke or eat crap?
