This very same thing has happened to me, and VERY recently happened to my parents. My mom was the one who told me the story. Almost the same story – the M&M’s. Oh, and my parents don’t have small children anymore.

I have also heard cashiers compliment others about healthy food choices, but it’s usually for individual items (not the whole purchase) and for having combinations like Leanpockets and Diet Coke w/ carrot stick and ranch dip. You get the idea.

Yesterday I saw Food, Inc. and it blew me away! Now I know more about the big Agri-Business than I did before.

I highly recommend everyone go see it.

My thoughts on another issue, you can’t have health reform until you reform the food industry. Unfortunately, that isn’t going to happen because politcians take money from the big boys.
