Bulk Barn!

Wow, my parents now have a membership at a store called Bulk Barn! They came home today with food that looked like it spent two days under radiation (I think). It was so huge it was almost..disgusting! But of course I didn't tell my parents that. I just smiled and couldn't wait to eat some of that food!

So as we got all the food to its places in our kitchen the whole family started eating. Now..I felt something was wrong. Like..as we eat so much food there are others out there that would celebrate if they had like a twentieth of we had! Just like a bottle of mineral water would make them so happy (and we have a case of ten or so).

Another thing that bothered me. Would we start eating just so we can eat? Eat just for the heck of it? Just to be happy? Whats up with that!? Then we would get fat! I am skinny and fit (for now as long as my metabolism stays the way it is) but I still want to be fit! I can be skinny and unhealthy!

What makes me even more disturbed is that when I was 7 years old or so I ate only vegetables, tea in the morning and got plenty of exercise! Going to Mcdonalds was a special event. Buying a new pair of shoes would make my week! Now my brother in grade 5 (I'm in grade 11 now) is getting two pairs of shoes! I'm not jelous or anything but I just think we are forgetting how precious money is! I'm on of those people that treasure every dollor and go for the best deals. I don't want ..let say three months from now to act normal when my dad comes home with a huge load of food! Its just not right!!! We don't need so much! Its overflowing!!!!!

Man...if only there were a teleporter where you can just put food in it and it will pop up infront of a homeless person or someone living in poverty. That would be amazing.
