The variety at the grocery store has become overwhelming, @flamingpetty writes. “Single-option stores” may be the solution. https://t.co/3iasgDwuVq

The left is so weak minded, they need to have their choices made for them

On a recent afternoon, while running errands before I had to pick up my kids from school, I froze in the orange-juice aisle of a big-box store. So many different brands lay before me: Minute Maid, Simply, Tropicana, Dole, Florida's Natural, Sunny Dnot to mention the niche organic labels. And each brand offered juices with various configurations of pulp, vitamins, and concentrate. The sheer plenitude induced a kind of paralysis: Overwhelmed by the choices on offer, I simply could not make one. I left the store without any orange juice.

Well, it works for Trader Joe's

This The item is out of stock. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Continuing to lay the ground work for the acceptance for outright communism. Starvation is a feature, not a bug.

Because they make good stuff

Contrast that with Boris Yeltsin visiting a Randall's

Have you ever compared ragu to raos pasta sauces?

I mean one is awesome and one was seemingly all that was available for a long time in the 80s and 90s. There's a reason people want more choices because some of them suck

"Still, the SOS is good at what it does: providing limited, mid-tier-quality food options, and maybe chipping away at my hundreds of daily decisions. I'll gladly take that trade-off for the time it saves me, as well as the mental space it clears. Now on my afternoon errand runs, I can head to my local SOS, get some store-brand orange juice, and bask in the freedom of not having had to make any choice at all."


Spoken like a true weak minded leftists. This guy - Adam Fleming Petty - should be embarrassed.



We've fallen a long way from crashing the beaches at Normandy.

Put a lib in a silo and he would run himself to death trying to find a corner to sheet in.

That is possibly the most pathetic story I have ever seen. Couldn't even make a ****ing OJ selection? How the hell does that person survive if that is something too difficult for them?

Weak-minded dumbass.

Move to Cuba

I'm sorry this person has such a problem coping with mundane things in everyday life. We should totally rearrange our whole system to cater to them.

Somebody had an article due and this is the s*** they came up with the night before the deadline.

Not just too weaked minded to actually make the choice...but later offers this information up to his readers as, what, exactly?

A problem on capitalism's part? That there is too much food?

Part of me does wonder if he is right, though. When there was competition for food...or even when you had to spend a good part of every week's daylight hours securing your food either directly or indirectly, nobody was twerking in front of children or insisting they were the opposite sex.

On the other hand....TexAgs would be pretty quiet, too.

Clear communist intention aside, my wife would hate this, and it would be my fault, because I could eat the same meal everyday that I can make in less than 15 minutes for the rest of my life. It would be cheap as hell too.

I worked w/a guy years ago who was born in Poland (I think it was Poland - it was European communist controlled country when he was a little kid).

His mom managed to immigrate to the US, and later was able to bring him over.

When she first got him she immediately took him to a grocery store and said "You can have anything you want."

He still remembered as a small child the awe of seeing fully stocked shelves with more options than anything he'd ever seen in his life. It was overwhelming the amount of food, the bright colors everywhere he looked, more fruits and vegetables than he'd ever seen in one location. He said knew immediately that America was the greatest country on the planet and he'd never live anywhere else.

No options used to be for those getting government assistance. It should go back to that for anyone getting food stamps.

The rest of us can go on having as many choices companies can offer.

Houston grocery stores with tons of choices quite literally helped end the cold war.

Yeltsin, then 58, "roamed the aisles of Randall's nodding his head in amazement," wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, "there would be a revolution." "Even the Politburo doesn't have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev," he said. When he was told through his interpreter that there were thousands of items in the store for sale he didn't believe it. He had even thought that the store was staged, a show for him. Little did he know there countless stores just like it all over the country, some with even more things than the Randall's he visited.

I will often buy the more expensive brands just to keep the product on the shelf. AS much as I think HEB does a good job with their store brands, I don't want to see the old brands removed. Especially now that HEB is going so woke.

Note To Klaus Schwab: Don't have too many choices of crickets.

If they want to go live in North Korea, be my guest.

Idiots.

Having lots of choices is a good thing; however, I often wonder why we need 800 varieties of yogurt.

What this lib and all others who have causes really mean:
" I can't make a choice. I loathe myself because I can't make a decision. So thusly, I hate myself. I hate the supermarket. I hate people who can make a choice, they are so normal. So I take my cause to like minded people, to make laws to limited the choices of those who are normal. We are effed, and you should be as miserable as us. "

I personally wish we had fewer choices, but that it was a result of Americans making smart and healthy decisions or companies refusing to pump out super unhealthy, borderline addictive foods, contributing heavily to this country's health and obesity problem. Our nasty indulgent gluttonous grocery stores are just a reflection of us as a people. Fat nasty Americans, with fewer and fewer redeemable qualities by the day. Just getting fatter and dumber.

I guarantee Eastern Europeans, Asians, etc. are at least much healthier and less obese than us on avg. Having 5 different flavors of baked beans in the same brand or 8 variations of pop tarts is overrated.

Just by coming over here to Sodom and Gomorrah 2.0, immigrants tend to balloon within a generation. Every Eastern European I have met personally has become obese after spending more than 5 years in this country.

Because 1000 people want to make yoghurt and 800 is what is left after all of the shi**y ones are culled by consumer choice.

Same as everything else.

I can only imagine that those like antifa, rioters etc eat anything but the crap you mentioned above.

I'm not for any sort of central government limiting what is in the store but ****, we have so many different choices when comes to everything. How many varieties of Oreos do we need? We've turned grocery stores into a Starbucks model and that guarantees I buy the wrong ducking thing when my wife sends me to the store to pick something up.

I know, I'm just an old man yelling at the clouds.

Exactly as you might expect.

I agree...plus poor people and those on food stamps. I cringe seeing their shopping carts.

In the late 70s, there was a push for "generic" branded items in the grocery store at greatly discounted prices. It would have a simple black-and-white label with large letters saying what it was, plus any nutrition or ingredient labeling as required by law.

I specifically remember my parents buying cheap six-packs with the label "BEER" for family gatherings. Reading the small print on the label we determined it was Falstaff, or at least canned at a Falstaff plant.

And all took the same heath class you and I did, and have govt programs thrown at them to improve their eating. Yet they do what they want, and should as well.
