It occurred to me today that we sure get a chance to do a lot of reading when we go shopping these days. Some do more than others.
What I mean is all of the product information that fills labels, promotions, and related places in supermarkets and other food stores. If we really want to know as much as we can in that spot about what it is that we might buy, we need to treat each aisle of every store as we would the aisle of a library or a bookstore. Each product offers us the same opportunity to read at least a dust jacket's worth about what it is we might take home to put in our stomachs, and we owe it to ourselves to be very good readers.
Whether it is buying the book, borrowing it from a library or picking up dinner, we'll make the very best decisions if we spend a little time reading as many words as we can to help us decide.
