Our family used to operate a convenience store in a gas station, business is business and only profitable items are to be sold. Unprofitable items are perishable items… real food is perishable… so eventually convenience stores wind up selling long shelf life items… junk food.
Witness how mind numbing the display of this convenience store goes:
You are presented with many “food” choices all choices are bad. Choose none of the above. They do not deserve your money and those junk foods do not deserve to be ingested in your body.
I joke about this to my kids and warn if they were bad, their punishment would be unlimited junk food so they will suffer.
We do not watch television so none of that junk is familiar to us.
Real nutritious food in this country does not come in fancy colorful wrappings. You go straight to the wet market or organic cooperative to buy real nutritious food.
Convenience stores by virtue of aversion to spoilage of short shelf lives sell only junk food.

Hi,
I agree with you. I also do not let my children watch TV. They get to watch only DVD’s which we carefully choose for them. They do know about junk foods, had tasted them once in a while but since they have known the bad effect it gets… they don’t crave for it.
Though we still drop by at convenience store when traveling, to get some drinks, mainly water.
Included in the No-No’s are the instant noodles that even the smell makes you feel like eating wax or plastic. Hope these things will be removed from our market. They are convenient, easy to prepare…as easy as it makes ones health go bad.
