Shopping Patterns: The Land of Big Buyers
OK, this is just scary. The Sun Herald gives us Who We Are: The Land of Big Buyers, which outlines the top 100 purchases by Australians (that is, the products that make the most money in Aussie supermarkets), presented in story form. Look at the food choices (along with the other choices, like spraying weekly with bug spray).
For lunch Julie makes herself a can of Campbell’s. Jessica has an Uncle Toby’s muesli bar and a couple of squares of Cadbury’s. When he gets some from school Ben has a packet of Smith’s and a glass of Milo. When she gets home from work, Jessica has two Tim Tams and a can of Diet Coke. Julie’s afternoon tea is Arnott’s Shapes.

For dinner, Julie makes a sauce with Leggo’s tomato paste, McCain frozen peas and John West tuna, to put over San Remo rigatoni. Michael drinks a can of VB, Julie has a glass of Jacob’s Creek chardonnay. For dessert they eat Goulburn Valley tinned fruit with Peter’s icecream.
Fresh food? Whole foods? Apparently, this fictional family says “pass”.
