I love the grocery store. I like to cook, I like to eat, so the grocery store is like the mother ship to me. I wish I had all the time in the world and unlimited funds to make meals and always have my fridge stocked with whole, organic, nutritious and decadent food. You would think that, given my passion for food, I would be my best self at the grocery store, right? While this prediction might be accurate in some ways, I also find myself being kind of an asshole at the grocery store.
I judge people based on what foods they buy. If a mother has a cart full of chips, soda, and cookies, I silently condemn her for setting her kids up for obesity and gluttony. If a single person loads up on frozen dinners, I mentally accuse them of being lazy. If a beefy guy is buying protein powder and energy bars, I bite my tongue to keep from telling him that whey protein is so much better than soy, but to make sure to buy whey protein isolate, not concentrate. I loathe seeing anyone buy energy drinks or white bread. My skin just crawls. I would like to think that my annoyance stems from genuine concern for the health and well being of my fellow Americans, but really, I probably am just nosy and judgmental. I cant hold everyone to the standards I set for myself, and I'm sure I need to lighten up a little. I just feel that changing my eating has changed everything about my life; I want everyone to experience the transformation! My body is so much happier. Shouldn't yours too?!
Read the Clean Method by Alejandro Junger and Food Rules by Michael Pollan. Please consider, if only to avoid my evil eye when I see you touching anything with "instant" on the label.
Love Love Love.
