. . . and so fat. Driving the prices down, and thus the wages of the workers down with them, we the consumers wring the necks of foreign producers. Supermarket advertisements and weekly sales bring me back, regularly. On my body it shows. I am using my purchasing power to correct the status quo. But, regardless of how I shop, organic or not, I am working against a system within a system. As Slavoj Žižek says in First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, “It is immoral to use private property in order to alleviate the horrible evils that result from the institution of private property.” I am attempting to buy my way out of moral ineptitude, and thus my purchasing/consuming exponentially parallel to my guilt. Safeway represents all aspects of this moral conundrum. Is it even possible to move my body from the glow of Safeway’s neon sign? Is this dilemma solvable?
