Leave the Store without any Nutrition

I race my grocery cart past the produce aisle
the manager there gives me a smirking smile
I am headed for the bakery in the back
lemon scones and blueberry muffins are now in my sack
I leave the grocery with no nutrition at all
These sweet starchy trips will be my downfall.
