A mess of musings and a meandering of meaning...

Have you ever noticed how expensive it is to be a good, environmentally-friendly person? I mean, no, not the steps you take to consume less, drive less, live simply, etc. etc. , but I mean, to buy "eco-friendly" products?

I like to eat crappy food, mostly because it's cheap, but I decided I was going to go back to eating well, so:
Whole Foods? Not so good for a trailer park budget. Trader Joes is however, extremely good...but they always seem to run out of the stuff I want when i'm looking for it...

Makeup? Clothing? Bags? Shoes ? Anything with an "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" label=$$$$. So weird. I don't know if it's just because it is now an "it" think to be a quasi-hippie, but if i'm buying shoes made from old tires and milk cartons, please give me a little bit of a deal, here!

Ahh well, whatever...we all gotta eat. I guess it just comes down to where you want to spend your money to support what type of economy.
