Dairy aisle? Did you talk to the farmer to see how he treats his cows? Help milk them? Cereal aisle? I presume this was the boxed and sugared breakfast candy that bears little relation to what actually grows in the fields. Were you greeted as a regular customer or was your presence at the store any more than an anonymous contribution to the coffers of Costco Wholesale Corporation?<BR/><BR/>The question is not one of living in virtuality, as we all do to some extent in an industrialized society, but of how much and which parts of your life you choose to live in it. Bad choices abound.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769323477518730747noreply@blogger.com
