It's amazing going through the supermarket and reading the sale flyers in the newspapers. All the hundreds, perhaps thousands of items we don't buy. Aisle after aisle after aisle we don't walk down anymore. And it's mostly factory food, boxed this, canned that, bagged starch, wrapped sugar, bottled corn syrup drinks, and so on.

I know it's all profit motivated, but at times it seems like a conspiracy to get us all overweight

I know we all experience this, and generally avoid those aisles, but we were looking for a product in a new store and the sheer numbers of non-edible-for-us foods just awed us.
