Also included in this article is the fact that we have one more growing season, planting and harvesting, before the shemitah a.k.a. the Sabbath of the land. We have lived a number of years in rebellion of this Instruction, and whether or not we honor the command, the land may indeed produce very little in the following year. We have become entirely too complacent and disconnected from our food supply.
I went to two grocery stores yesterday. Seeing what I saw in one, I had to check out the other one. The photos included are only from the first market, but I can say this. There were empty shelf spaces and one less aisle in the second store. The "front" displays are now moved back in both markets and the aisles have been reduced in length as I've been reporting for some time.
What used to be double sided signs over aisles are now single signs over the actual inventory. As in "Aisle 6" is actually just a sign on the wall over the freezer section now and "Aisle 5" is the double sided shelving containing the soda on one side and chips on the other. It's as if the word "aisle" is on it's way to new definition.
This is what I saw in the grocery store, January 8, 2014.
The empty potato display bin
the frozen meat section
Organic?
Sad, simply sad . . .
