It makes me smile when you go to the supermarket the day of the storm, which never really came for our part of the country, and you find all the really healthy choices missing from the shelves and freezers:
Instant Noodles, Baked Beans and canned spaghetti, hash browns, frozen chips, toilet paper, white bread, milk (thankfully nobody likes to pay through the nose for my choice of milk - A2), any and all kinds of rice and pasta and instant packet foods, like macaroni cheese, cake mix etc.
What were people stocking up for? The Great Convenience Food Shortage of 2026?
Plenty of vegetables and fruit left, and grainy breads, low fat and low sugar options galore - emergencies are obviously best served with a healthy slice of heart disease and obesity.
Made me smile. I wanted Vogels, A2, Bananas, Lettuce and tomatoes, eggs and other things that were all readily available. Good times indeed.
