The grocery stores in valdosta suck!
I've realized that many of my parents health problems stem from their diet of southern food - everything is fried and swimming in grease - so I've taken over the shopping. Unfortunately, the only "supermarket" is the one with the oddly pro confederate army name - Winn Dixie. Apparently, the 70's 80's and 90's have not reached the south foodwise...
Italian...chef boyardee
asian...la choy in a can
yogurt...Winn Dixie brand ...chocolate chip ,bubblegum, butter pecan
arugula...no
heineken...pabst, bud
vegetables...canned
but there are aisles of cheetos, pork rinds, ding dongs, grape soda, moon pies - no wonder they're all so fat!
I asked a dim looking manager if Winn dixie carried tofu and he thought for a second and said "try the pet dept" . When I told him it was a white block of curdled soybeans he lit up and said"OH..., try the black section". The aisle he directed me to contained the largest section of white artery clogging items I had ever seen in a grocery store: fat back, lard, suet, renderings ???, ham hocks,snouts, tail...but, it also had the only fresh greens and vegetables in the store.
