This is not one of my favourite tasks, but once I arrived at Pak'nSave I soon started to enjoy myself. Supermarketing is a great chance for a Paleo lifestyler to feel smug and superior. It's lovely to marvel at the crap others load into their trolleys to feed themselves instead of actual food. It's quite alarming that many are raising their children on it, too. Loaded up with my fruits, veges, nuts and meats, there was time to have a quick read of the Women's mags while waiting at the checkout - interestingly one has Prince Harry dating a Brazilian bombshell, and one says he's getting jiggy with a Monaco princess. My receipt gives me 25c off petrol and we are stocked up for another fortnight.
Welcome back (after having been deleted from Second Fiiddle's link serice).
ReplyDeleteI do have some comments though:
1. Our palaeolitic ancestors may well have lived on meat, nuts and basic vegetables but they didn't live for very long and I'm sure that if any of them were alive today you would have seen them in the Pak'n'Save queue with a trolley full of Mars bars, bacon, ctream cakes and chocolate chip ice cream.
2. I think that I have actually seen some palaeolithic people at or local Pak'n'save.
3. I think it deplorable that you read the women's magazines at the check-out counter without buying them.
4. This is of course one step better than actually buying that crap and thereby fu8nding and perpetuating this type of rubbish 'journalism'.
5. I don't give a toss about the in-bred tossers that make up the so-called Royal Family but if the ginger headed bastard (and I use the word advisedly as his provenance is suspect) wants to seed his tainted oats around different continents then it may be all for the good. Firstly if progeny eventuates then it has to be better than coming from families of 'Yahoo Henry's' that majke up the gene pool of British aristocracy and secondly, if it turns out to be a complete tosser like its father then it will only serve the attention seeking and gold-digging mother right.
Apologies for the spelling errors in the previous comment.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be some sort of delay in the google blog system when typing so if you don't read carefully after every typed word then it can print the error.
Robert, if you are reading, this is no excuse for bad grammar.
Yes - what was Robbity-Bob thinking?
ReplyDelete1. Our ancestors lived shorter average lives because they couldn't repair trauma injuries and resulting infections. Evidence is clear that the diseases that plague modern life were absent, as they continue to be in the few tribes left in remote areas to this day ( Papua/New Guinea, Amazon etc)
2. You may well have - I've heard the far north is pretty wild.
3. It's deplorable that I have to wait in a line in the first place. Everybody knows the rules - browse the front copy, take from behind if purchasing.
4. Exactly
5. Quite right about the deplorable Diana.
