Term of the day: Food Hoarding (Brought to you by the old ladies in my metalsmithing class and the letters F, U, C, and K.)
It's interesting because I just recently went vegetarian again and immediately noticed the heavy hit to my bank account when buying groceries. I've always bought organic products and healthy food - but attempting to avoid meat and still find sustenance that is nutritional pretty much means I now have to make everything that I eat myself. (You can only eat so many Boca Burgers - seriously.) I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong; but just getting fresh milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and grains somehow always ends up being damn near $100 for two weeks.
Three years ago I would have spent half this.
And has anyone looked at the produce lately? It looks like shit! Even the bagged lettuce usually has some sort of funk to it, despite the date claiming it to be fresh for another week or even two.
The sad part is, I am the frugalest mother fucker EVER. I will easily spend over an hour at the grocer determining what is the healthiest, cheapest things I can survive off - and it still ends up breaking the bank.
Fuck you economic crisis. FUCK YOU.
And fuck you gas prices! God damn $3.37 a gallon today!!! I almost shit myself when I looked up while filling my tank. Or actually, not filling, because a small part of me hopes it will go down tomorrow; or the next day; or the day after. It has to go down right?! I know that's complete false hope with the way things are going but I'm still not paying THREE THIRTY SEVEN A GALLON. ...Unless it goes up to four.
Can you people do me a favor and STOP BREEDING so I can have breakfast cereal in the morning? That'd be great - thanks.

There are so many things that can be conceivably bad for you that eating can become a difficult and expensive proposition if one tries to avoid it all. I try to view it as a sliding scale - keeping the worst stuff to very small quantities, doing as much as is practical to emphasize the good things, and taking a few targeted supplements to hopefully help counter-act the bad stuff I do ingest.
