Today I went grocery shopping with two of my room mates. What could go wrong? Well six people sharing food and a food budget a lot. I’m not having the best of times being out of control of my food but I knew this was how it was going to work when I got into this program so oh well.
Anyway I’m living with a vegetarian and a few people who don’t eat meat very often. It is a group of people who enjoy co-ops and organic. This tends to cost more money. There ended up being a bit of controversy over where to shop.
Now I’d have no issue with a discussion of this sort but it ended up being one girl (Bubbles actually) saying that we have to make sacrifices and not shop at the co-op because it was expensive. Some of the other girls tried to explain that they would rather spend a little more and eat simpler for their ideals. Bubbles got indigent. She has never thought about the food she bought. However she is also the one who speaks up strongly about how companies NEED to behave and what our government SHOULD be doing to help communities. When I point out she needs to be aware of what she is spending money. Apparently that is too much work.
I don’t understand. It really just doesn’t make sense to me. She is really passionate about certain things but makes no effort to actually achieve them. She thinks everyone else should do it for her. Sigh
