I often think of how lucky we are to have our grocery stores.

Never mind the stores, what about the farmers?

It certainly is a blessing to be liberated from all want and starvation, even for poor people. However, we seem to have gone overboard in the other direction. How astonishing it must be for someone from India or Zimbabwe or Haiti to read about Americans so fat they are having stomach operations to lose weight.

Well, all I can say is that it is very nice to have the choice.

We feed the world, don't forget.
