I lived abroad for five years and when I came back and went to a typical American supermarket for the first time in a long time, I was so overwhelmed. Mostly, I find myself on the perimeter these days and I prefer smaller-scale stores with little choice like Trader Joe's and Aldi. I am amazed at the stuff I see in people's carts when I end up at a big store, though. A lot of times I think the junk is mostly being bought for events and not necessarily for people's homes. That's the one thing I wish I could change about our food culture - always food at events and at work. That is where most people get on the wrong path each day.
