Pet peeve

Pet peeve: a conversation on the quality/healthfulness of an item, usually food, ended (or allowed to be ended) with the mind boggling, "Oh it's from Trader Joe's."

AS IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING.

Ok, burst of anger vented.

Have you heard this? I'm sure you've heard this, because I've heard it plenty of times in different venues.

Trader Joe's is a grocery store. That's all. It's not a paragon of anything other than decent marketing. Even, "It's from Rainbow" doesn't tell me much other than "it's not dead animal"... It could still be dairy, not organic, refined or processed, artificially flavored or colored, or preserved.

Speaking of which, have you read the ingredients of Nutella? They're disgusting. Rainbow has several nutella clone products with better ingredients... I'm interested to try them and see how they compare. Maybe at a future whole foods potluck I'll do a nutella tasting.

Today while walking to muni, I ate a chocolate peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich... now my tummy hurts a bit, but it was yummy. Brown and orange-yellow aren't the best colors mushed together on a sandwich though, let me tell you.
