  • From your comment I assume you are American, since I heard that people pack your bags at your stores. In Germany and probably most of Europe a typical checkout process works differently and probably solves the problem.

    1. You put your stuff on a large transport band, emptying your cart (probably have those as well)
    2. When you’re up you move your cart at the large area after the cashier
    3. The cashier registers everything and pushes it to you into that big area
    4. You put everything in your bags while they are working
    5. Cashier finishes, you make your payment
    6. You pack the last 3 items that are remaining

    Some stores also introduced a simple “switch” that makes the products of the person after you slide into a seperate area, to save time .















  • I try to eat as few highly processed food as possible. Nearly all industrial meals and convenience products are packed with artificial substances to improve taste and especially optimize production cost. Most prominent water in combination with something to adjust viscosity.

    Full meal replacements are the pinnacle of high processed foods IMO. You take “everything that a human needs” mix it with water and stuff it with aroma.

    I got some problems with this approach:

    • I’m not confident that there is really everything I need in it

    • Extracting nutrition from food usually takes time, drinks are easy to process and probably release nutrition much fast (needs confirmation)

    • Eating is not only about getting nutrition, chewing also triggers effects on your body

    • Eating only artificial stuff destroys your taste, a lot of people are so used to highly processed stuff that they can’t even appreciate the taste of high quality food

    • Take a break for eating, you can socialise with your family or coworkers and give your body time to regenerate
