I needed a few things as we were in town for an orthodontic appointment. I was in the boxed grain section looking for pearl cococous. There was a woman looking at gnocchi. It is one of the more junky and expensive shelf stable things they sell. Our daughter comes up and says to me, "Can we buy the prepared gnocchi?" I said, No, I will make it, you know I can't stand that plastic covered junk." The woman looked at me and said, " I guess I shouldn't buy this because it will make fat." I didn't say anything. She proceeds to tell me that she is in eating disorder recovery. I explained to her that I didn't care for the amount of slat and the PLASTIC. We stood there in that aisle talking about how to make this from fresh ingredients. But, for today, it was OKAY for her to enjoy the prepared gnocchi. People need to pick themselves where they are today. This was this woman's first grocery store trip to buy a dish she loved in childhood. My duaghter and I were having conversation about what is right for our family and our daughter. High salt foods give her headaches. I smiled as the woman put her gnocchi in her basket. I went home and prepared the dish for our daughter. We never know what the day holds for someone. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
