My local farmers market is only open seasonally and consists of about 1/3 of their booths selling banking services or squishmallows, 1/3 of the booths selling (delicious, but not very storable) ethnic foods, a bread stand, a honey stand that also sells mail order animals by the quarter (butchered, I think), and 3 booths selling scraggly renditions of whatever they’re currently harvesting.
I wish I lived in the same sorts of community conditions where you live, or had the connections to local food producers that you do, but the reality is that I takes whats I can get.
And what I can get is from mega corps that care more about profits than starving a few people.
The government has to get involved right? For something like food, you can’t set up a system that walks right up against price gouging.
The government is owned by these corporations, so no.
It’s up to the people to fight back organically and locally. We cannot rely on the system because it is set up for us to fail.
Why? Just don’t buy it. When do you have absolutely nothing to eat?
Worst case scenario you can always buy directly from farmers.
Are you fucking insane?

You need electricity? Just buy your own generator.
Need water? Just dig a well…
Need oxygen? Well…
They’ve definitely never heard of food deserts.
That’s why I might say about Wendy’s, but not the grocery store.
I am not driving multiple hours to save 50 cents on a bag of onions. The only local farms where I live are hobby farms.

Are you joking?
Why should we lower our standards so people richer than us can be even richer? Not everyone is a useful idiot like you.
