Two and a half miles? In an area that gets well over 100" of snow in the winter? Yes, I do mind carrying shopping bags home. I already carry a backpack with the things I need for work every day.

And currently I have some tomatoes, some broccoli, some tangerines, and some peppers that I picked up. But it is more difficult and definitely more expensive than the simple carbs of white pasta and white rice. Maybe it is my area? Again, I live very north, so it's not like we have a huge growing season / farming community as I might if I lived more to the south. And thus things might be more expensive for me than for you. Like that broccoli? $1.79 a pound here. The carrots are $1.29 to $1.79 a pound. Apples are $2.49 to $3.49 a pound. And that is at the cheaper of the two grocery stores in the area. The one that isn't by my work and definitely requires bus rides. When my budget for food is $1-2 (ideally $1, but I can't always make it) a day? That adds up fast.

It really is expense for me a lot of the time. When I inherited money from a relative who died, so I both felt justified in the expense of the bus and had more money in my food budget, I ate healthy for almost an entire year. Then the money ran out.

Feel free to resent me all you want, obviously, but it isn't easy to eat healthy while being poor in a city. (I did try gardening my first year in this apartment, but my tiny yard gets zero sun and nothing survived.) I will do the best I can as I can. And you will continue to pass judgement. I just thought I'd share the perspective of someone actually living the life.

I love it when people act like they're hurting me when all they're doing is making their own lives harder. $1.79 isn't that expensive and you're already walking 2.5 miles anyway. You're not 'living the life' you're finding reasons not to do what you say you would 'love' to do.
