Fresh vegetables

[Thumpalumpacus]

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.

Oh, I'm not bitching. I don't look down on folks who don't share my diet, I'm just pointing out that some of the objections aren't really objections in many cases. If your case is one where they are, you still have to eat, and far be it for me to look over your shoulder.

I've got some experience with poverty as an adult. In one instance, because I lived not too far from a 99-cent store, I was still able to keep fresh vegetables in our diet. I understand that isn't the case everywhere, especially in so-called "food deserts" -- inner-city slums with no proper food market for miles.
