Gott'a Be a Smart Edu-macated Shopper
I understand today’s necessity of being, “an informed consumer”, “A Smart Shopper”.
Used to be that we’d go get milk. There was 2%, Skimmed, Homogenized and even Chocolate milk. Recently due to some really smart tv ads, my childhood ideas were confirmed – Chocolate Milk really does come from Brown Cows.
Today, I’m told go for milk, I know that its supposed to be the 1% kind, skimmed a little more, or maybe a little less – I don’t know, but I’m told its better for my diet.
First, I go for coffee at the famous SB, they use the term Whole Milk – huh? But they also won’t use the words Small, Medium or Large. I like their coffee, but ordering it adds confusion to life’s already too many passwords, to as well remember the “code” word for the size of coffee I want. So I speak with my hands - in waving-stretching motion - i say Giant, Large, Real Big.
Then I go to pick up the milk for home – oh wow!
There’s regular 2% partly skimmed milk, only it has super fine filtering – so it’s better than just regular pasteurized milk.
There’s 2% milk with added calcium.
There’s 2% milk with omega 3 – low in saturated fat and free of trans fat – hey I thought milk was healthy in the first instance – now I find it has trans fat too – did the schools ban milk along with carbonated drinks?
There’s 2% Lactose Free – OK I get that one.
There’s 2% milk with added fiber – so who needs breakfast cereal? Take that on the chin Denny Crane aka Bill Shatner.
And, there’s 2% milk that makes someone smarter. It comes from cows fed an enriched diet containing the fatty acid Omega-3 fatty acid, DHA.
I wonder if the 2% Omega3 milk has some of the same stuff that the Smart milk has, don’t you? And I wonder do they make 6 different kinds of 1% milk, and if so are they the same kinds as 2%, or different kinds? It’s got to be time to stop advertising milk as Nature’s Wholesome Product…its become a marketers paradise. This is almost smarter & funnier than diamond shaped Shreddies.
And now you know why today, it’s a necessity to be an Edu-macated Smart Shopper.
