"Health" Food

I was originally pumped to hear that the supermarket on my compound would have an entire section devoted to "health food." Then I found out that my idea of healthy food is very, very different than theirs. I mean, I think of organic produce, whole grains, vitamin-rich snacks. Words like all-natural and unprocessed come to mind.

But here's what I find in the supermarket:

An entire wall of sugar-free candy and reduced-fat cookies.

I cannot pronounce most of the items on these ingredients lists. That is never a good sign.

Another entire wall devoted to sugar substitutes.

This would be the wall of chemicals. I'm not even sure if this qualifies for the "food" part of "health food."

A whole wall of jelly.

Why is this here?

A corner devoted to refried beans and processed nacho cheese.

Okay, what the crap?

And finally, one corner of actual health food.
