Discussion with my husband just now: John: Man, this oatmeal is good. Me: Which kind is it? (John is an oatmeal fanatic; we have a whole collection of half-finished boxes and canisters in the cupboard and I never know which variety to buy more of, aside from the basic Quaker old-fashioned we always have on hand.) John: The oat kind. Me: Well, thats very helpful. John: I mean, the kind that says oat on the box in great big letters. Me: Show me. Was it high fiber? Flavored? Low sugar?? John: The box is out in recycling and I have no idea. So I go fish the box from the bin in the garage and discover it was Oat Revolution! Instant Steel Cut Oats with Flax. I shall buy several boxes, John will happily work his way through them and I will no longer be deterred by lesser varieties. Moral of the story: Spouses who dont do the grocery shopping have no idea of the stress in the supermarket aisle when one is faced with the proliferation of products all promising to promote health, happiness and longevity; its as if your familys life hangs in the balance ... but the benefits will work only if the item tastes good enough for them to actually eat it. Too many choices; too little taste; not enough time to consistently prepare our own!
