Grocery Store Panic!!! 🛒

Years ago, I was in a Trader Joe’s check out line on 21st Street and 6th Avenue for an hour and a half!!!

When, I finally got to the cashier she was amazing. She said she was studying Agriculture in college and had a fancy major that I don’t remember. Basically, she said that since people stopped farming there is a rush to get the food. We feel a real panic when we are food shopping bc we no longer control the process. The further and further we get away from having a way to get our own food we will get more and more heightening of feeling real fear. 

This BLEW my mind. 

Bc...

It’s true. 

Even in an empty supermarket there is an underlying rush mode. Of get what you need and get out fast!!!

Personally, I enJOY food shopping. I like to stroll and think up my next meals. It’s a chance for me to get creative. 

But...

I know how to cook. 

If her theory is true then: The further we get from making our own food on a daily basis, the more panicked we will feel about getting fed too. 

Sooooo interesting!!!

Today, Do you feel anxiety when you go food shopping?!? Or do you chill and relax?!? Do you feel anxiety when eating?!? Or is ordering take out your way to “cook?!” 

Pay attention next time you are food shopping to see how you feel. 

Super curious to hear your experiences!
