Snowflakes and psychology

Bread and milk sales in the Northeast are going through the roof as I writ this blog today.  Unfortunately, fresh fruit and veg sales are very probably headed in the opposite direction.  For some reason, people feel that carbs and milk are the way to deal with winter.  Fat is in, fiber is most definitely out, unless we are talking sweaters.  This latest winter storm will take the edge off FOB prices for the next week or so.  That's two weeks in row;  Super Bowl Sunday is another bane to those of us who depend on moving volumes of fresh produce.  This weekend is going to be a the sort of DVD and snow shoveling fest.  Get the popcorn ready.
