      cujoedaman Nothing that comes in plastic packets in a box is fresh, either. What I go by is “Beware of anything in the middle of the store.” All the fresh fruits, meats, dairy (if you eat it) vegetables, and (sometimes) breads, are around the perimeter. Of course, there are some things in the middle aisles which are nutritious but “fresh,” not so much.

      Guys, first of all I was born in the 70’s, not that I actually enjoy publicising how incredibly old I am, but whatever. Second of all, I remember when I was 2, probably younger, I remember diapers, bottles, my dad leaving, my mom struggling, my sister in and all her glory feeding me while I lay in my playpen unable to stand without holding onto the sides lol all of it. I don’t think it’s rare at all, my sister and my children are all the same way. That being said thank you for even thinking I’m not old enough. I absolutely am. Maybe , idk, think I’ll change my photo today, see if you all think the same thing! Thank you for the sideways complement 😂
