Individuals that design grocery stores are highly skilled manipulators.
Ever notice that the bakery is in the back of all grocery stores? The
scent of the bakery draws you to the back of the store and away from
your intended goal.
The dairy products are also in the back. Again, you have to trudge
through the store to get to your dairy purchase and on the way you can
easily be diverted. Remember, the perimeter of a grocery store usually
contains all the basic necessities of your healthy diabetes diet.
It would be better for all of us if we never entered into the center
core of the grocery store. It contains all the foods you never knew you
could live without. Did you know you can buy a mix to make green bean
casserole? It contains a can of green beans, a can of fried onion rings,
a can of cream of mushroom soup (for real) and costs three times as
much as buying the items separately. But you get the instructions so
it's a wash, right?
Another thing to stay clear of in groceries stores is the dietetics
section. The food tastes awful, is expensive, and often contains more
carbohydrate/calories than the regular products, and the sorbitol
products give you gas. In my opinion, there's no real necessity for a
dietetics section in the grocery store. I think we've all heard the old adage, don't go to the grocery store
when you're hungry.
