MOM AND POP VERSUS SUPERMARKET MOM AND POP

Well today we go for the food to shop for food for the (LESBIAN HOUSE DINING)event/action, the first one in THE HOUSE. I told G..... et al that i would met them at the big health food store that they have taken to going to. (I really think that shopping there for them is an 'in thawg'). When we are finished at this store i want to convince them to come with me to this wonderful store run by a huge family of Italians and another one run by a large Vietnamese family. So anyway shopping with them is quite a trip or rather as my mother would say quite a vacation. First we oohed and ahahaed at the variety of organic fresh veggies i was thrown by the prices of some of the veggies,much of them reminded me of growing up with my sisters in a big city where my mother and my father bought with them the same love of farm fresh veggies by growing most of our greens for the table and i don't remember my father making that much money on the extra veggies he sold. I certainly would remember if someone paid him or my family four dollars for 7 leaves of collards. Why we would have been millionaires at that rate. So anyway they wanted the organics so did I but not at those prices, and the first thing they ask me was so where are we going to go to get organically grown veggies? I answered by growing our own. They all look at me as though I had grown another head and almost in unison said yea. What have we learned that causes us to believe that we can not even accomplish the simple? I mean seeds are still in the world, how the hell do they think the collard leaves were grown, and from what? I said to myself another time and I will talk to them about a garden, but not now, besides they are getting hungry and so am I . So we eat here? I don't think i can afford lunch here so how do I deal with this? Maybe a cup of soup and bread ? Wow i know you gotta get the cup with the soup for that price.Maybe a glass of water? O no I have to buy a bottle of it. Is there a faucet in this place or am I out of touch to ask?
