Yesterday's observation

Yesterday I stopped in at a local Trader Joe's to get SJ his favorite raspberry preservers -- and they are good!

Being a focused shopper -- I go in for what I want and any yummy samples I can score -- I was in the 15 or less line in minutes...the Mediterranean hummus with snap peas was delicious -- and had a few minutes until my turn with one of the perennially cheerful cashiers.  As I stood looking around at all the other in the stores it hit me -- there were no fat people in Trader Joe's!!!!  Not even very many overweight (5-15 pounds)!  

With my overactive mind, I began to see if I could figure out why.  Here's what I have come up with -- their meat section is very small compared to other grocery stores, their fresh produce is organic and the section is large, and their wine is good at all price levels.  Therefore, this is my final deduction: if we eat less meat, more veggies and enjoy what we eat and with whom we eat we won't eat as much and will be more fulfilled.  Duh.
