THE SIDEWALK: MY JOURNEY AROUND THE BLOCK

Project 2  •  No. 7

The Supermarket ain't so Super.

I dread going food shopping. It is an hour of endless decision making. 

What should I have for dinner? 

If I buy fish, which one is okay to eat?  Wild or organic? Which one is endangered?

(Maybe I'll just get chicken.)

Should I buy those out of season strawberries from California?  They look so good!

 (Stay local and in season or you'll feel guilty.)

 Should I buy the organic blueberries for $7.99?

 (Or go cheap and pollute my son's body with pesticides?)

Is agave a healthy sugar or just as bad as high fructose corn syrup?

(Remember when you ate cherry fun dip and lik-m-sticks and felt good about it?) 

Should I get those pretzels and chips?

(Just bags of killer carbs and empty calories.)

Should I get a case of water bottles? 

(Bad for the environment and possibly cancer causing...but oh so convenient.)

THE RESULT: PSYCHOLOGICAL EXHASUTION

So I thought I was hallucinating when I saw this:

Shelled soybeans and Sponge Bob...that's a combo nightmares are made of.
