My
longstanding opinion that workers in grocery stores and restaurants have absolutely
no clue as to where the foods they’re selling came from was proved out this
morning when I journeyed to the local outlet of a well-known “natural” foods chain.
When I asked
the woman who took my order (for coffee and a bowl of oatmeal topped with
fruit) where the strawberries came from as it is hardly strawberry season here
in northern Vermont, she responded thusly: “From the store.”
It would, I
am sure, be possible to carry this over to the most basic and life-needed
substance of water. If I were to ask the woman across the street where her
drinking water comes from, she would, no doubt, say it comes from the tap. Duh.
It’s not
just young people who’re disconnected from Nature (and connected to each other
electronically), but also the older generation. Any dissenting ideas out there?
