Consumption Habits and Adios M&M's

I want someone to do a study on whether or not people eat more if they have more options to choose from.  I've lived with Genna during the school year for a few years now and our kitchen/food area feels empty at least 75% of the week.  For that reason, I end up binging on graham crackers or peanut butter or whatever baked good we have from the weekend before.  We're both under the impression that if we stocked up on a ton of food we would eat all of it.  Irrational amounts.  Extremely quickly.  No sense of when to stop.  That sounds very unhealthy and unfortunately pretty realistic.  BUT I went grocery shopping today, and in fact my mother would be very proud of me.  Well, she is very proud of me because I texted her to boast and she told me so.  I did all my fruit shopping at Whole Foods to ensure some deliciousness and fresh qualities, then proceeded to do my basic food necessity shopping at Aldi's, to ensure I still have money at the end of the week.  This included bread, peanut butter, yogurt, graham crackers, corn flakes, frozen soft pretzels (like I said, necessities).  Please tell me why anyone would choose to purchase mustard from Whole Foods when you can get some very similar tasting shit from Aldi's for a third of the price.  Convenience and laziness when it comes to having to make two stops for groceries?  Yes, absolutely correct that is why, for I am guilty of that so many times.

So I ended up with a lot of food after grocery shopping today, and for the latter two meals of my day I had so much available I couldn't even decide what to eat so I just dipped random foods in hummus and called it a day.  I'll probably finish off with a bowl of cereal.  I hope when I have a family someday I don't treat them like I treat myself.

My dad tells me if I continue vegetarianism and I don't learn to cook meat properly I'll never get a husband.  I told him that's silly and my husband would love me because it's been proven vegetarians taste better.  I think that comment went right past him because he's programmed himself not to evaluate anything I say that may have any sexual or inappropriate reference involved.

"Best Text I Received Today" award that I just made up and already want to rename goes to my mom @ 5:36pm:  "The warehouse is out of peanut butter m&m's my life is over"
And she wonders why I dramatise little things in life.
