My first trip to the supermarket for three weeks, it was like I was never away.
There was still a shortage of decent toilet paper, that’s three weeks that the shelves haven’t been restocked.
We had plans to add extra tinned items to our trolley to build up some stock in case of a hard winter or an early apocalypse. Although since I’ve been here the snow hasn’t been that bad, that it’s trapped us in the house, but with Michigan weather that isn’t always guaranteed.
The first shop we visit is Nature’s Market where all the foods are of the highest quality, often with a price to match, but in order to eat healthy you have to pay for it. The meats are locally sourced without additives, a rarity in America where animals are injected with hormones that make people fat. There is so much evidence of that, but nothing is everyone to change it. The general population have not made the connection between bad food and bad health. Low income families can only afford junk and are therefore destined to die early, but not before they have spent a fortune on drugs to counter all the bad food.
I was quite surprised that a lot of vegan food is up there on the highly processed list, so even those poor sods are being misled.
By the time we had done our shopping, taken returns to the UPS store and sold stuff At Plato’s there wasn’t much point in doing much in the garage. I did a bit of stripping on the bureau, but even that was hard work, so I finished early.
