I don't get it

Please tell me why you would buy your fresh produce at a grocery store right now. There are Farmers markets going on all over. I don't get how you could go to Smith's or Costco and purchase tomatoes, peaches, blackberries, peppers, corn, carrots, potatoes, garlic, etc. Have you ever tried a garden fresh grown tomato or peach or anything mentioned above? They do not even compare to store bought AT ALL! Store bought ones taste like they were picked not ripe (wait- because they weren't), shipped in from Mexico and covered in tons of pesticides-not to mention who knows what else.

Come on, support our local farmers that make a living this way. Not only are you helping out your neighbor, but you will eat something that tastes like what it really is! You can ask them when it was picked and it's usually this morning. How awesome is that?

Oh and while we're on the subject-Lennon had her first happy meal the other day (hopefully her last, hah). I thought hmm I'll get her something healthy, the apple dippers. What the hell are those things? They did not even taste like an apple at all! They were some kind of genetically engineered extremely, crunchy thing. Lennon would not go near them (thank God). I wonder just how many days they have been peeled before you eat them, because they were in no way turning the usual brown color that a natural apple does. shudder. Sick!

Everyone-including me for sure, needs to be more conscious of what you are ingesting into your body. Think, why do so many Americans develop cancer? Could it be our horrible diets? I think that's definitely the reason. When you can't pronounce the ingredients in your food, there are 95 ingredients in it & they all appear to be at least 18 letters long, which you vaguely remember doing some kind of science experiment with that in 12th grade chemistry, that can't be a good idea to eat that. Food isn't supposed to stay fresh for 2-5 years. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird?! Eating a chemical substance that is made using chlorine & sugar, and discovered while performing yet again an experiment (a tasty, tasty one at that ;)), that scares me. I really don't care if it has more calories to eat real sugar. Bring on the organic, all natural sugar, baby. Because think about it food/drinks have calories! And if you're eating/drinking something that doesn't have calories, what the fuck are you eating/drinking? You can't cheat the system. You're drinking/eating straight nasty chemical funk.

K- stepping off my soap box now. And thinking about Doritos, but going to refrain. They are delicious. hah

seriously

You know when you get that headache in your eye ball, and your eye feels like it's going to explode. That's what I've had since the second Lennon's calls made me open my eyes. I only drank 1.5 glasses of wine last night. What the hell?! Why me??

I want to lay in a dark room and take a nap. A girl can wish, right?
