Well, I do live in a poor area of America. There's a couple of Aldi's and Food 4 Less stores. It's only called a 'food desert' because yuppie types won't shop in those kinds of places.
The way I see it is it's all about choices. A bag of Cheetos costs $4.00. You can buy a whole frozen hen for less. A $16 ten-pound bag of rice will last more than a month and frozen vegetables are inexpensive and every bit as healthy as fresh. But if you go into low-income housing, and I've been in a lot, the stove and cabinets are covered with grease from constant frying and the cabinets are stuffed with chips and cookies.
I did not know you had Aldi in America.
They sell really nice tinned chickpeas, I used to go in there and buy them 15 tins at a time, 33p each.
That's probably the most boring statement I've made on this forum.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
