It is getting to the point where I absolutely don't want to eat anything, even though I always get too hungry to hold firm. Ever since this corporatization of groceries turned it all the way up to eleven, I have been having extreme difficulty with grocery stores. It sort of comes and goes in terms of severity. The first bout was about thirty years ago. I suddenly found that I couldn't get more than about twenty feet in the door of a supermarket without being overcome by the need to bolt.
This set me into a cycle of restaurants and small markets for close to a year. I gradually became able to stay in the supermarket long enough to complete a purchase of at least one item. Most of the time I have been able to gird myself for the ordeal and get it mostly handled when it's dire, and I find it about impossible to stock up on food because I can't seem to make myself go back to the store until there is nothing at all left in my house to eat.
You will agree that this is not optimal for this day and age.
I'm pretty much okay in little markets and health food stores, but supermarkets just never get okay for me... and sometimes they become impossible. I'm sure there are others like me, but the vast majority of them have either someone else in the household who will handle it, or the money to get it handled by other means. I know some people actually enjoy it. They probably are blissfully ignorant of the dread toxins lining the aisles....
