An Anecdote from the Baking Goods Aisle

I was in Wal-Mart Labor Day, and it was as crowded as ever. That is to say except the baking goods aisle. Perhaps this was a coincidence, but I distinctly remember wall to wall carts and people on every other aisle. The baking goods aisle was bereft of shoppers. It made me pause and think that we are no longer a bake from scratch nation. The only reason I was there was to pick up some corn starch; I heard it is good for removing oil from concrete.
