Makes me wonder...

So, today i was sitting in the HUB because i had a two hour break before my next class. Naturally it was around lunch time so i became hungry. I didnt really want to get anything big or like a full lunch cuz i was having dinner with the "gays" (Whom i love dearly). I decided that i would have something SEMI healthy. If you know me at all..healthy isnt my strong suit. I decided on having some pretzels, and apple or orange juice. I walked over to the thing full of the drinks and found the SMALL section compared to the sports, energy,and carbonated beverages. I decided i would get some apple juice, because i like it, I havent had it in a loooong while and well because it looks the most appealing. Now usually i dont really look at the price, i just grab what i want, but this time my eyes decided to wonder. I noticed the price for the juices was 199. Now, i know thats not too too bad for it, but really in this situation it is. The bottles the juices come in are smaller than any other container that contains a liquid, and its one of the most expensive. I saw that the Carbonated beverages were .50 cheaper. I was upset with that, and my brain said, well beth you are getting more for your money to buy the Carbonated beverage rather than the small container of Apple Juice.

Leaving this store with my pretzels and my carbonated beverage i started to think. I was rather upset. No matter why we choose Carbonated beverages, or energy drinks or other choices that arent necessarily the best for us. They are cheaper and you get more for your money. In a society, where we have one some of the most largest people, we should really start to rethink this. We need a change, and with how the economy is going we need to realize how americans are thinking. I know i know some of you are thinking they arent thinking like that they are thinking with their stomachs. And you may be correct in that reasoning, but I still think that drinks like Orange Juices, or apple juices....(only 100% Juices) should be reasonably priced with the Carbonated beverages, and maybe more and more americans will start to think about making better choices. Its like of like that one commerical where the woman changes on small thing about her eating habit then she starts to change outher things, like what she eats for other meals, starts to work out, starts to do other activities then sitting around watching tv. Think about it....Just ONE choice could mean life or death to some people...really. SO lower the damn prices of Juices for us dammit!

Peace
