Everyone in my household is just dragging, trying to deal with this cold/flu/sinus infection/whatever it is. We’re congested, coughing, exhausted but can’t sleep, fever, headache… in short, we all feel like crap. So on the advice of a friend, we went to Whole Foods to get some echinacea and vitamin C.
I found it hilarious that the store chock full of vegan, “cruelty-free,” organic products and more than a few Birkenstock and BDS tee shirt clad shoppers had a completely empty bike rack and a parking lot full of new SUVs and oversized sedans. But the absolute best part was when Ms. All-Natural left the store with her toddler and a cart full of health food. She immediately released the toddler into a busy parking lot so she’d have both hands free to light up her cigarette.
And your point is what? If a religious hypocrite attends a Christian sevice would that be enough to discredit Christianity? Your blog reeks of repellent religious sanctimony.
It reeks? Really? Well, my Gram always said if a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.
Listen, it was just an incident that I thought was amusing. If I had been feeling better I’d have taken a picture of some of the global warming bumper stickers on those SUVs. I pick on everybody, as evidenced by my Mardi Gras post, which I think exonerates me pretty well from the religious sanctimony charge. Honestly, you don’t find anything amusing about the concept of loading up on organic food to protect the good health of a child, then turning it loose in a busy parking lot?
Awesome response, Laura. I’ve done double-takes in parking lots myself when I’ve seen those massive yacht-like vehicles that barely fit into the standard parking spaces. They sport the latest “go green” bumper stickers. And there’s mom lighting up in the driver’s seat with Junior strapped into the car seat in the back. Disgusting.
Thanks.
