Re: Post your grocery flyers, F!S! (Or equivalent.)

[(Anonymous)]

ngl, I'm really concerned that the poster from yesterday who insists that there's no such thing as food deserts and that poor people should just buy cheap lentils and vegetables that will miraculously be under $2 and right next door and fix them in their plentiful free time instead of going to McDonalds will show up.


Within approx. 5 mile radius are several grocery stores, because I'm one of the lucky ones re: food availability. The nearest is moderately expensive and will require crossing a very busy (55mph speed limit) highway that has no sidewalks or pedestrian crossings, which is very typical of most roads around here. The second nearest is an expensive health food/organic grocery. There are three ethnic markets, only one of which carries a limited selection of produce that isn't in the best shape because their turnover is not high. Best bet is an Aldi, 3 miles away, which will require crossing TWO very busy roads. For food alternatives, there are several fast food places that are closer, a nice and inexpensive Indian take-away place, and maybe half a dozen or so cheap to moderately priced restaurants.

I haven't priced lentils recently, but a 2 lb. bag of pinto beans at Aldi costs $1.69, IIRC. If we're going by the comments yesterday re: $2, I'd have .31 left over for vegetables. That MIGHT buy me a small onion or a head of garlic, but of course, for that you'd have to walk another mile or so and cross another busy road to a larger grocery store because Aldi's produce is almost entirely pre-packaged and you can't buy one onion. I could come home and boil up the lentils and my sad onion, which will probably only take an hour or so.

Much like yesterday's commenter, I've got a pantry full of spices that would make lentils a lot tastier, but of course, that's because I have 1) cooking experience that tells me what to buy and how to use it and 2) money and access to spices. If I didn't have those things, I'd be stuck eating my lentils and onion with salt and pepper and feeling vastly superior to everyone who decided to make a much shorter walk to McDonalds and simply buy a burger and fries instead.


...


Just kidding. I'd be contemplating merciful death because boiled lentils with hardly anything to flavor it tastes like fucking cardboard, which is exactly why I don't tell people who lack money and cooking skills to "just cook lentils and some vegetables, it's way better than fast food!"
