Groceries

Today i went grocery shopping in Steinbach. I live on campus, so I don't really need much. But i wanted to get a few things for those days that are too cold to leave dorm to eat. Or if i am studying hard, i don't want to have to leave to make the cafeteria hours. Ive noticed how there are so many new products, or brands on the shelves. It seems like our grocery stores are going to have to get larger and larger because of the amount of products are coming in. I suppose the stores don't need to buy that to supply, but also i think about the way we are right now, and how eating is a big struggle for our society. Everything is big, people love eating, and people are getting fatter. More companies want to meet that demand. I don't know if this is completely off the wall, but it always seemed to me that grocery stores were never really this big before. And for a small town of 9,000 people, do they really need 4 large grocery stores? i don't think they do...
