My wife reads every label, there is so much poison in the food in the US. Its very difficult to avoid it anymore. Unfortunately everything in the US is a business with very little regard for the end user. For me it is too late, I grew up eating this crap but what we do now is for our kids (and the hope that I actually outlive my parents).

You may be right, but what good are all those choices if 98% of them are poisonous?

We made the decision to eat less if that means eating better. We are also lucky to be very close to farms and we support them whenever we can.

There are a lot of chemicals that are added to the food we eat here that are not allowed in other countries, sometimes even different ingredients in the same product made by the same manufacturer. Constantly getting caught off gaurd if you’re not careful. My kid wanted marshmallows today. Pulled them from the cabinet, looked at the ingredients, freakn blue 1....in a white marshmallow!

You are absolutely correct. Companies are slave to the share holders at this point. If you want to grow you need invertor confidence and that comes through showing profit.

I am not sure what it looks like at your local Home Depot but here they are phasing out cashiers. I’d like to support local brick and mortar stores but if i am now scanning all my purchases, at that point I’d much rather just sit at home and order my stuff online. Whats next? Am i going to be stocking shelves?
