Topic: Grocery stores do not sell food.

[grumpy]

That's according to our lovely (just turned) 13 year old daughter who just screamed it at us for an hour.

Wow! Who knew? Learn something new every day.
I wonder what we've really been buying all these years.

[Powderman]

Did she say what they did sell? Why would you let your daughter scream at you for an hour. Next time she gets hungry remind her that your went to the grocery store to get her dinner, but they didn't sell any food there.

Maybe she's referring to the GMOs that line the shelves of our grocery stores.  To me, anything that's been genetically altered is no longer food.   Food comes from animals and plants that have been here for a long time, not freaky science projects from the Monsanto labs.  *grumble grumble*

Dont buy anything.  When she gets hungry ask her what to do.  Maybe she will start a garden or go hunting.

I am imagining that she thinks Mac Donald's and KFC have REAL food....

[FunJimmy]

Meanagers are all knowing! Didn't you know?
If she has a beef with the overwhelmingly invasive proliferation of GMO's, who can blame her for flipping out. She sees her food future as the poison that it has become.
So what brought this temper tantrum on?

As long as she doesn't tell you that the bars don't sell beer...

[grumpy]

So what brought this temper tantrum on?

It went something like this:


I'M HUNGRY!

eat something.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE TO EAT!

check the fridge & cupboards, there's plenty.

NO THERE ISN'T! YOU NEED TO GO SHOPPING!

just did.

EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT IS GROSS!

OK, well what isn't gross?

I DON'T KNOW!

Then let's go to the store & you can pick out some things you want to eat.

THOSE STORES DON'T SELL FOOD!

umm, then what stores DO sell food.

I DON'T KNOW!

So you can't tell me what you'll eat nor where to get it? Then what am I supposed to do?

OOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!


etc....

Your 13 yr. old daughter may be much smarter than you !!... Most every grocery store is full of food with 'nothing to eat'.... Nothing that is not poison by being chock full of HFCS which converts straight to LDL fat in humans. Our 'Foodland' is nothing but inedible corn-based poison...... we don't eat that stuff neither should your daughter, or anyone .

It could be worse, she could be like my brothers girlfriend.  My missus and I keep chickens, ducks and turkeys, all of them lay eggs and all of them are on the menu from time to time.  We offered her some eggs a while ago and her response was "No thanks, I buy mine from the supermarket where they don't come out of chickens bums."  Well I was dumbfounded, a couple of months later we had a batch of meat chicks we had grown and I again offered them a couple once they were dressed and ready to eat.  Her response this time just left me speechless, she was very adament "No, I couldn't eat that, I buy my meat from the supermarket where no animals were hurt to make it."  She seemed offended when I asked her if she was on drugs, or just mentally retarded.

Sounds like a typical 12-17 year old girls response to life there is a point where every thing is gross particularly you, I think it's the split between reality and her perceived wonder reality ( wonder reality a mixture of hollywood hype and peers that have more supposed freedom that she does you get the point) I'm sure every young girl has a princess in her make up.

Better Qoute: Every girl/woman has princess in her make up.

You think they ever grow out of it? I'm three feet from one who still thinks she's a princess

She better be ultra hot. No normal looking chick should be that dumb. 

[Xnavylfr]

She should be forced to tour a slaughter house to see how "no animal was hurt" in the process.

Slaughter house is quite eye opening.

[flybox1]

My in-laws rented a loft in a farmhouse when stationed in N Germany.  The owner was a pig farmer. We got the tour. My wife had a tough time with pork for years after we visited. 
On the other hand, I told the old guy how much I loved pork and that he was doing a good thing.
I had fresh pork nearly every day and put on 10+ lbs that vacation 

With my kids, they eat what mom and I cook. 
If they don't want it, they fend for themselves. They can make suggestions on meals and add items to the list.
I refuse to be a short order cook.

She doesn't look that bad mate, other than having a face that looks like a horse trying to eat an apple through a tennis racquet.  She is blonde though, and well and truely a city slicker.

[70CB750]

I had a friend in trade school for meat processing and such, we called it the pig university but the official name was something like Meat technology and processing high school.

Anyway, he worked in a huge slaughter as a summer job and mandatory part of the edu and he gave me a tour.  It was celan all right and quick but still nothing you would check out for fun.  That's why I think that game animals got the best deal out there, if the hunter is not complete idjit.

[Duke McDukiedook]

So what is this stuff I buy from the market that keeps adding to my gut, spare tire and butt?
Imaginary peter pan-type sustinence?

I dunno Mate, that dumb needs more than you described. I would suggest your Brother back away slowly and get out of Town.
