Geez, we can't even get thru the check-out at the grocery store without the candy being right there. Why not a fresh fruit snack stand instead?
Here is a great example of Healthy Check-Out Lines at Utah's Harmons City Creek Grocery. Maybe this should be a new campaign of mine???? hmmmmm... |
Martin's Food Market in Richmond, VA *This one still has some processed food though. |
If this were my child, I probably would have
- Told them that they weren't allowed to speak the rest of the grocery shopping.
- Made them push the cart and do the rest of the shopping for me.
- Put back all the stuff that I just bought for them.
- Jerked my kids little butt out of the store.
- Put them in time out right there in Aisle 7.
- ANYTHING other than buying the Damn Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks!
I totally agree. I use to love to shop in Winn Dixie stores when my boys were little. They did have Check out lines with 99¢ golden books. My boys always looked forward to picking out a new book, and there was never any whining while I shopped. A healthy snack and a book would be perfect. And now, our grandchildren can enjoy these same books.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea with the books! I like.
