As soon as my sweet little sister came home from school we (My mom, little sister, and myself) headed over to the Food Cooperation store in St.Peter. I know it's only been like two - three hours since my last post but hey, I like writing on this thing.
The reason for this post is extremely girly, so you might wanna tune out right about now. There was a super adorable boy who works at the place! We talked a lot while he was helping me find the beef broth, and then helping me find tea. Ha, yeah.. so that's pretty much it!
Oh! And we got this awesome peanut butter. Guess what the ingrediants are? Roasted Peanuts, and salt. Pretty sweet, huh? It's the real shiz.

Freakin crazy movie.
I've been in this class about food safety and about where we get our food from, how it's produced, and what chemicals we put in the ground to make it. It's been a very surprising class. I'm glad I took it, but at the same time I'm really not.. because it's hard to know that I'm actually eating this crap (like just cereal or milk!) that comes from these huge assembly lines and stuff. It's hard to explain in one post. It's been a whole week in this class leading up to the Nobel Conference that we'll be going to all day tomorrow and Wednesday, and I still don't know all that I could. What I do know makes me want to become all organic. Shopping at the food co-operations and getting produce from local organic farmers who do NOT use pesticides or herbicides, and maybe even becomic a vegetarian.
This movie "Food INC" that we got off Netflix for free (it was a "watch it now" thing) tells a lot and exposes a lot. Many of the big companies declined interviews for the movie. They had people sneaking cameras into the facilities and all that jazz. The things I learned were like.. seriously nothing I've ever even imagined possible. I've never thought of the food industry in the way that it really is before, and there are so many Americans (and others, mostly Americans) who still don't.
I wish I could do something about it, but becoming organic and healthy for the Earth, economy, and myself, is just so expensive because 90% of farmers out there work for big companies.. and are not organic at all. It was seriously Earth shattering. Close to literally.
WATCH IT and I'll be your best buddy for life!

Some asshat decided to ring our doorbell at like midnight last night. Little shits..
But hey! I got some sweet new shoes! Lowlight: I tried to express my excitement about them to one of my friends.. but then he said he didn't care. This is a guy that I actually feel comfortable with telling things to, so it was really a big let down. Whatever though.
They'll come in the mail within a week and a half. But this is what they look like:
