It's always easy for someone to say "lazy" when they're not shoehorned into situations that require them to work a job with a 45 minute one-way commute to pay for their families.

Blemishes aren't bad. The Farmer's Markets just often aren't convenient. And then too, my grandmother lived in a house where she could grow a ton of tomatoes, but then she could can them and store them.
I don't have storage in my apartment to do that. So you know, I don't mind buying 'cheap' canned food.
I'm grateful for places like Trader Joe's which sell cheaper fresh veggies. But not everyone has those places.
Until you grow your own food and try to store it, or live in poverty level conditions, don't fucking bitch about how people eat. It literally makes me want to shove a "check your privilege" in your face. I had to learn the hard way.
