Albertson's Doesn't Care About Your Health



Ten thirty at night and this hungry vegan wandered into Albertson's to pick up a few things to make a late night dinner. Sensory overload isle after isle of stuff I'd never even want to consider putting in my body. I'd rather stave then eat most anything from this store. A selection of like 4 sad organic vegetables, live lobsters tied up in the tank and not a single "non-dairy" dairy product to be found. The "healthy" foods section is stashed at the end of the baking isle and are all haphazardly thrown together, half of which aren't even slightly "healthy".

Every single product in this store contains meat, dairy, food coloring, pesticides, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, managers and employees are all overweight, you know the usual every other grocery store kinda crap but here there is an over abundance of choices of death in a box. Don't worry they can solve your ails with their HUGE pharmacy. Toxic air freshener blasting through the meat section to get rid of the stench of blood baths and a seafood dept that look like red tide just rolled in.

What is wrong with our society? Why are there ten times as many products of just plain toxic crap then there are decent ones? The manufacturers of these products don't care about your health or the planet, nor does Albertson's when they buy this stuff up and fill their shelves. Wake up people and take notice, if you don't care about your own health don't count on corporate agenda to do it for you. Oh yeah I thought I'd pick up some napkins, what could go wrong there but of course they didn't have even one of the 50 selections that had any recycled materials. Figures.

I did end up buying a non organic avocado, a tomato, and some Dr Praegers Veggie Patties for a late night sandwich.



Albertson's I'm scoring you an "F" in corporate responsibility. I'm guessing the employees eat the food here cause they all look like zombies.
