"MARKETING TO KIDS Right at the entrance to the Morton Williams Associated Supermarket near where I live its managers have placed the cutest little red shopping carts with flags saying "Customer in Training." In training? Any child old enough to push one of those carts does not need training. Children already know what to ask for from the thousands of televised food commercials most have been exposed to since infancy, as well as from food tie-ins on toys, books, clothes, and games." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "The aroma of freshly baked bread is enough to make any customer happy, hungry, and in the mood to head to the far back corner of the store, passing aisles and aisles of products, and filling shopping carts along the way. The quality of the bread is decidedly secondary. The quality has to be secondary. Bread baking is an art. To make great bread, bakers have to know how to handle any number of hard-to-control variations in ingredients, temperature, and humidity. With years of experience and much trial and error, they develop a feel for working with the variations." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "Advisers say that if supermarkets do not immediately deal with this competition, "there will be a lot of empty shopping carts in their future." The only growth possibilities for supermarkets as they currently exist are in the increasing population, industry consolidation (to cut costs), and expansion overseas, especially into developing countries. These last two approaches are likely to translate uncomfortably into low wages and poor working conditions for employees, and the export of products unlikely to promote the health of overseas populations." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"To explain this further, sometimes I see people at the grocery store who have their shopping carts loaded up with crackers, breakfast cereals, soft drinks and ice cream, but they're hesitating in the produce section because they can't decide between organic lettuce or regular lettuce. I can hardly keep myself from jumping up and down in frustration, because the products this person has already chosen to put into their shopping cart are so outrageously unhealthy and contain such a large amount of metabolic disrupters that the decision between organic and plain lettuce is inconsequential." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)
