Do you peek at grocery carts to see what other people buy?

Yep, I really like people watching... I guess Im a creep :embarassed:

Seeing fit people with healthy foods in their carts really motivate me to keep the junk out of mine. As many other people have said, I feel uncomfortable when I see overweight families buying ****ty food... I was never taught good eating habits by my parents (I never went hungry though, they did their best) so I know how hard a future these children are going to have trying to break these habits. :frown:

I am a nosey grocery shopper lol but not so much with other peoples carts. I tend to stare (I can't even lie it's not a peek lol) at the peoples food who are checking out in front of me and deciding if my cart looks as good/bad as theirs does. But when I cart creep I do get good dinner ideas sometimes or new veggie ideas and whatnot.

Yes, all of the time.

No offense, but when I see an obese person with a cart full of processed junk, it kind of makes me want to say something.
I notice people checking my cart out too so it's mutual.

Yay for food police...I'm sorry sir your too fat you don't need chips.:grumble: why do all these people get satisfaction from judging people? I'm obese and I shouldn't have to apologize for it. And if the person likes bad food who the hell are you to be the whistle blower. Im trying to lose weight for me not to make other people happy.

I sometimes pick up random items off shelves and put them in other people's grocery carts and then try to walk away with their cart.

That is awesome. My son does that to me... "wait a minute!! I don't remember putting water ballons in my cart."

I'm 36 going on 7.

No, I have never ever conciously looked in someone else's trolley. Not interested.

I used to work on a checkout though....you can't help but notice then. Never saw any hugely overweight person buying lots of junk food. Then again, I live in Ireland....most people bought a LOT of potatoes. :laugh:

Yes, and sometimes it gives me ideas on what to buy.

No, I peek in people's food diaries intead :P

LOL! I just joined a few days ago, when I saw that diaries could be made public I was in lurker heaven! To be fair, I made mine public, too.

I check out people's carts in the line sometimes. Just outta curiosity.

I mainly drive my cart through the store around people pretending I'm the coolest grocery shopper of all time.

Ok, I have to admit that sometimes I notice what others are buying. I love to people watch. Its interesting to me to see the people who do fill their carts with junk food. I've noticed that they usually look like they probably couldnt afford expensive food items. BUT I think this is just laziness or just sheer lack of knowledge about healthy foods.
My parents had ten children, and my dad did a ton of charity work, so we didnt have much of an income. My mom was very health conscious. She bought bulk brown rice, dried beans, frozen bulk veggies, bananas and apples etc. Not a single one of my siblings is heavy and we owe it to her for being willing to take the time to prepare healthy, wholesome meals. I think that laziness is what leads people to by processed pre-made foods. That goes hand in hand with refusing to work out. Walking is pretty much free...jogging just requires a pair of decent shoes, yoga books can be rented from a library...free wights and exercise balls arent that expensive.
I think with proper planning and willingness to COOK anyone can eat a fairly healthy diet. Brown rice and beans and chicken are way better for you then cheetos and frozen pizza. A couple dollars worth of these will feed you for days...try eating a couple dollars worth of corn dogs for days. Sorry if I'm harsh. I just get so tired of hearing people complain that they can afford junk food...If they were willing to work for it they could eat healthy. We live in such a lazy, instant gratification culture!
