T: “Giant; The Quality Food People” What does it mean dad? Dad: It’s their slogan. It’s a way of advertising and trying to sell their products. T: what is quality food? Dad: Technically food that has no chemicals added to it and is organic is quality food. But people can interpret it many different ways. T: Oh! Why we don’t buy from here daddy? Dad: I suppose we can. T: Yippy, we can shop there now. Dad: But, they don’t have fresh fruit like the fruits in the Farmers market or fresh and natural and organic products like the ones Whole Foods sells. T: Why they say “The Quality Food People” dad? Dad: It’s how they get shoppers to go and buy from them. T: Is it true? Dad: I suppose. But they sell processed food too. They have food ingredients with additives, food coloring and other stuff. T: I’m confused dad! Why they say quality food? Can the police arrest them when they lie? Dad: They’re not lying though. Plus, to get the police involved, someone has to complain first. T: How? Dad: Well, someone has to go to the police and tell them that, for instance, I bought – what I thought was a - fresh turkey but it turned out to be a frozen turkey. T: Can they go back to the store and tell the store that? Dad: Of course, they can. But if the store says nope! This turkey I sold you was fresh; and the customer says it was not. They have to take it to the authorities – you know the police, lawyers, judges and people in the judicial system. T: The judicial system, oh! Dad: Yes. The judicial system! T: What happens then? Dad: Well, the chief of the Police sends an officer to the store and tells them that they have to go to court and explain – to the judge - why their turkey was not fresh when they said it was. T: So they go to court. Dad: Right! But courts are not for common people. You know, they use a different kind of terminology at courts. They speak with words that is not commonly used by average people. So the guy who bought the wrong turkey has to find a lawyer. And the store has to get a lawyer. So, the lawyers start fighting. T: Umm, daddy what are they fighting about? Dad: The frozen turkey. T: Oh. Dad: One side says your food is not quality food and the other side says it is too! T: I never want to go to court. Dad: Me neither! T: I’m never going to buy frozen turkey. Dad: Me neither!
