The Drug, Sugar, is for Sale Everywhere

I woke up early this am thinking about going to the fabric and arts
and crafts store last week to purchase a patch to cover a hole in my favorite
jeans, a hole created by my favorite dog. Emma.  You go through a maize to
check out and along that maize which is several feet long is nothing but
candy,  and just before you check out, there is the opportunity
to purchase a 20 oz soda.  Candy and Soda in a fabric store???
What is that?

Is that stuff there because the stores wishes to serve you in the
best way possible or that they have your best interests at heart?
Or it is possible they are contributing to the demise of your health
in the interests of profits?  Duh?
 
Then I started thinking  about CVS and Walgreen pharmacies, where you go
and purchase your toxic drugs.  And on your way out ,you can buy another

drug, sugar, in the form of candy or soda or a lot of processed foods which 
will  continue to insure your need for more of their toxic drugs.

Of course, you always have to go all the way to the back of the store to purchase
your prescription drug and walk through the whole store on your way out, giving you plenty of opportunity to be tempted by that that sweet treat or your child  begging for that sweet treat.

So it's a vicious circle in the interests of more profits.  Of course, our government
continues to subsidize sugar causing the profitability of selling those products to be more
worthwhile.

So our option is to stop buying the stuff, one day at a time, one person at a time.
They will only stop selling , when we stop buying, making it unprofitable to
give shelf space.to these items.
So really, when you think of it, the ball in is our court,

STOP MAKING those IMPULSE PURCHASES WHEN YOU CHECK OUT OF ANY
STORE.  DURG, GROCERY, FABRIC, SERVICE STATION, OFFICE MAX.   And this a short list.
