I don’t venture out into the great big wide world full of corporate consumerism often.
And by that I mean I don’t spend an awful lot of time in shopping malls and grocery stores.
Although, suffice it to say that since moving my working life to the ‘burbs, I spend more time at the mall than I ever used to, if only to stave off the insanity and boredom that comes along with a lack of decent food.
Perhap my naiveté is showing, but I prefer the small scale operation; one where you can still get a sense of the human touch. Because of that, we buy 95% of our food groceries from an organic delivery service called The Clean Food Connection, and whatever they don’t have I source from small local grocers (like Friendly Magnolia Fine Foods or Fiesta Farms) in my area.
So, it would be safe to say that I’m not really up to speed on current grocery store trends, which is partially why I was so gobsmacked by my visit last night.
