The Aldi in Portsmouth, OH is a purveyor of almost nothing but the foods you should probably try to eat less of. I found shopping there almost traumatic, mostly from the realization that the pallets stacked all over the floor with white flour, white sugar, garbage oils etc. etc. probably do represent what a significant fraction of Americans cook with.

The richest nation on earth, and we settle for "tastes good, costs less".

Hm. Aldi America is managed by Aldi-Süd(South), which in Germany was more progressive in revamping its offers, and outfitting its locactions in more modern style, while Aldi-Nord(North) was seen as lagging behind, more conservative, old fashioned.

Anyway, since about 2004 I've only experienced the latter (Aldi-Nord), and can't believe the US-branch still does this? Because the thing with the paletts is gone here, since at least a decade. Don't know how to define garbage oils, though. Got Linseed- and Hemp-Oil there, recently. Works for me.

But hey, as an avowed prole, what do I know?
