Hippy-Modernism

Apparently nobody else cares that my supermarket only stocks one variety of organic milk, and sometimes doesn't stock ANY. What, I ask you, are we healthy, green types supposed to drink with our cereal? This morning I had to stoop to ordinary milk, and it was REVOLTING.

I might be exaggerating a little... it wasn't "revolting" - it was just... kind of, normal. Which I don't like anymore! God damn it. I'm allowed to be picky.

So, on the theme of supermarkets, I am no longer buying any fruit, vegetables or eggs from the big chain stores. I will only go to small greengrocers, or preferably, posh market type places on Saturday mornings dressed in my gym gear carrying an organic skimmed chai latte and my yoga mat. This is all in aide of the ENVIRONMENT. Yes people - I am slowly making my way to Modern Hippy status.

I burn incense - because it makes visitors think I'm cultured.
I eat organic food - because I can AFFORD it.
I turn off my appliances - because these appliances are MINE and mine alone.

Seriously - it's nothing to do with appearances AT ALL. It's about saving face.... I mean, saving the environment.

I know I'll have support from one of my avid readers - this woman is one of the finer species of humanity; she has designer sunglasses, she appreciates the importance of driving a small but wholly unnecessary car, she most probably goes to her local market wearing yoga gear and a Louis Vuitton trolley basket.... Yes Merrows - it's you.
