grocery stores

Due to mostly shopping at health/natural/organic food stores, I don't go in regular grocery stores very often anymore. So when I do, I'm sometimes surprised.

They don't have frozen bagels anymore... No more frozen Lender's bagels. Who'd ever have thought it? And the non-frozen ones all have ingredients like L-Cysteine, Potassium Sorbate, etc. in them. Hmmm.

The Corn Puffs formulation has been changed again, removing the artificial preservatives they had previously added (something I had ranted about in a previous LJ entry). But I'll hold off on celebrating until after I taste them and find out if they're as good as they used to be.

And the most weird annoying thing, especially for a vegan like me.... if you walk near the dairy section, you hear moo-ing cow sounds... they have a little audio speaker there issuing forth this NOISE! And in the egg section, there are clucking chicken noises. Ergh! Why don't they play the sounds of a slaughter-house in the meat section while they're at it, EH???

Religion Definition
are you mono or polytheistic? umm. dunno.
do you subscribe to a major religion? no.
how do you feel about Jesus? cool dude, maybe. or maybe not. dunno, haven't met him.
what holy book do you feel is most accurate (Bible, Koran, etc) I haven't read enough holy books to say. (can a book be holy?) I certainly don't think the Bible or Koran is accurate.
do you believe in reincarnation? sometimes
do you believe in the traditional heaven and hell? no
do you believe in ANY heaven and/or hell? not really
do you think the god(s) are vengeful or nice? hmm. some are vengeful. some are nice. some are vengeful and nice. wait, does that make me poly?
do you believe in angels? not really.
do you believe in miracles? not really. although, I suppose some strange things could happen.
do you believe in predestination? sometimes. but not really.

what do you think will happen to you when you die? well, i might just be dead. or i might reincarnate into another stupid lifeform. or i might wake up in a place that feels like home with people that feel like friends. aw, that would be nice.

do you think religion and science will always oppose the other? they don't always. it depends on the science and the religion, of course.
what would you say to God if you met him/her/them today? "uhhh....." Actually, I wouldn't need to say anything, because my god would know what I was thinking, and I'd be so awed and happy and having a such a major awesome experience that any feeble words would be rather inappropriate.
anything else we should know? i'm agnostic, right? yeah, that's right, i am.
