I have left the shopping cart. but only because I had small kids in the car. But then again having kids is a perpetual state of emergency, so I guess it falls under that clause, and I might be welcomed back into civilization.

I call shopping cart abuse!

In 2014 I road tested new cars before they hit the showroom floor. Got to drive the new 2015 Corvette Stingray from Florida to Las Vegas. They did a 15 min emission test and then spent a day off in Vegas and then back to Florida.

I loved the scenery in this video and it took me back to my trip out west, all expenses paid in new Corvette.

I did lose $25 gambling. I paid a hooker $25 and then she ran off with my money. I knew it was gamble to start with. Hookers don't usually push shopping carts.

I spend a lot of time blabbing about it, if that's what you mean :-)

As for maintaining a healthful diet, once you know what to put in the shopping cart it takes no more devotion than eating any other diet

It's essentially this https://www.drcarney.com/images/easyblog_shared/b2ap3_large_PCRM-Power-Plate-Small.PNG

which is very similar to the government's recommendations - https://i.dietdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/myplate-467x425.jpg, minus the dairy. (Canada has recently dropped dairy from their government recommendations, so it's becoming a mainstream thing to accept that dairy is not required in the diet - and even the dairy industry themselves are starting to give up, no longer is their own biased research saying dairy is healthy, they've begun to settle with dairy is not harmful lol)


It is important to me, personally because my close relatives died from easily preventable diseases, and I myself suffered from nephrotic syndrome, which would have killed me. And I mean suffered, my wounds were opening up, I had ulcers appearing on my skin, my joints were swollen, and my muscle mass was wasting away because I was pee'ing out all my protein....... AND THEN I FIND OUT IT'S BASICALLY AN OPTIONAL ILLNESS - and my life is saved.

It absolutely pains me to see the western world with it's epidemic of obesity, diabetes, heart-disease, cancer, and less common diseases like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and so on, suffering unnecessarily like I did because they do not know the how easy it is to avoid, prevent, and often reverse these diseases. The vast majority of people could easily be healthy if they switched to a whole food plant-based diet. Not everyone, but most.

We're doing it to ourselves. We're giving ourselves these horrible diseases, and destroying the planet, and killing 80 billion land animals, and 2 trillion sea animals to make ourselves sick. To me it's pure insanity.

I remember watching him on Channel 5 out of NYC back in the early 70s, didn't realize he was still around. I grew up to think he was just another huckster but he has a point, I see mothers pushing shopping carts at the supermarket completely ignoring their kids while yakking on their cell the whole visit. Or a mom on the phone waiting for the school bus with her kid. Who knows, maybe they are completely engaged with the kids the rest of the day. But I suspect that next generation will end up glued to their phones as well.

I think he needed to wait around until she PAID for that juice/milk...then dump it on them both.
I can't stand parents like that. Her poor child is going to be in jail fairly soon, since no one (beyond a stranger) will tell him hitting is wrong, especially with a weapon like a shopping cart.

When your shopping cart is running wild, don't trap it. Try to let it run off and calm down on it's own.

Most people do fold, but a few companies are now starting to see that they can successfully fight.

Here's how Newegg saved online retail

Where did I ever say it was going to sit in one place? Only you said that. Why quote me if you're not even going to read the first sentence of what you quoted?

No, if you let go of a cart on the "up" escalator it's going to fall down the SAME escalator (the up escalator), not the one NEXT TO IT (the down escalator).

I'll be more blunt:

It's obvious (well, to anyone that has moved beyond video game physics) that the YT description that was pasted here was wrong. The shopping cart person wasn't pushing the cart "to upper floor", it was being pushed from the upper floor.

You have this cartoonish idea of physics I guess. Try to push a shopping cart onto an escalator, and see if it just sits in one place, slowly turning over... and over... and over.. until someone comes to get it.

No, it's going to rocket down the fucking escalator, bouncing off the steps and the sides, until it goes flying off the bottom killing a small village.

Shopping carts with swiveling rear wheels are F@$^king stupid!

They're much easier to control in the store, but harder to control in the parking lot, and vice versa for ones that swivel just at the front. I miss the all 4 swivelling trolleys they have in Australia.

I'm seriously not trying to get into an argument about shopping cart design. And I respect your attachment to Aussie swivelcarts. Still, I have to disagree on the point that they are easier to control in the store. When you have a cart with four swivel casters filled with a heavy load, and you get it up to speed, those wheels provide no assistance when you try to redirect the cart's momentum around a corner. It's a danger to shins and container goods.
It's like you are hurtling out of control in the ship from the game Asteroids rather than swooping around in an X-Wing.


You just need practice. After a while, you'll be jumping on the back wheels and drifting sideways down the aisles like a pro
