Frustration

My son has been asking to watch Food, Inc....again.  I have to admit that I've been avoiding it and living in my "ignorance is bliss" mode.  But I'm not ignorant which makes "food" shopping a very frustrating experience.  Anyone remember the beginning of the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" when she's shopping and kind of indecisively/half-heartedly tosses the item into her cart?  That's how I feel with nearly every purchase I make...especially if it comes in a box.  I feel okay with organic fruits and veggies but the price kind of takes the fun out of the good feeling.

So, we watched it again last night...and I had to go grocery shopping today.  I kind of did it on autopilot.  I'd probably give myself a C for my purchases...which is probably generous by some standards.


*the unhappy purchase is at about the 24 second mark
