subtitle: why we should not go the grocery store when hungry….
It was a simple trip the big warehouse store, the place I consider a grocery store, only, I hadn’t eaten much all day. As I was pushing the shopping cart around, loading up on quantities of necessary items like cat litter and Diet Dr. Pepper, I happened across an end cap with a special deal on cartons of Pop Tarts. Fair enough. Works out to about 30 cents per serving. Or something like that, the hungry math was fuzzy, at best.
Near as I can tell. The ingredients are basically refined and enriched flour, and sugar. Plus a long list of other flavors and preservatives. Not that it mattered.
So I get home, and I pop open one package. Which, in my famished state, leads to another. Then another. So that’s three sets of Pop Tarts, and suddenly, I don’t feel so well.
Grocery shopping is best accomplished after a nutritious meal, one that doesn’t involve half a case of pop tarts.
