Atlanta's Food Deserts

[Eddie Teach]

Get your own shopping cart.

I live within walking distance of a Krogers as well as three rich person grocery stores (Publix, Fresh Market, Whole Foods), and the Wal-mart is technically walkable, if I felt carrying 88lbs. of Diet Sam's Choice sodas two miles was a worthwhile endeavor.

You need to buy carbon credits* (payable to me) if you drive that trip


*or offsets or whatever

Publix is a rich person's grocery store?

I usually shop at Kroger because there is one just over half a mile away, but I think Publix is roughly the same prices as Kroger with nicer stores and a better deli.

I just giggle when I see those on checkout pages. EAT MY SMOG TREEHUGGERS.

Now give me my 15 boxes of Quisp.

Go pick up some produce at a stall?  Where can you do that?

I don't know, maybe it's the winters here that prevents those sorts of things from being set up, but I can't imagine doing that.

No farmers' markets in Canada?

Sure, but they're not open all the time, and are far, far away from where people live.

Mmm, food desserts

Ah, well I'd say that most major cities have one's in easy reach (New York City apparently has nearly one per neighborhood. ) and many places can run one's year round (though not necessarily everyday).

If you ignore the specials and/or don't have a Kroger card, those will be pretty close. Otherwise, Publix is more expensive. Wal-Mart is of course the cheapest option.

Ah, the south.... 

Ah, the guardian.... 

I love reading stories that confirm all my biases.

And what biases might those be, other than the racist ones we already know about?

[derspiess]

And here comes Seedy

[CountDeMoney]

Beats two pages of "Niggers? Let 'em starve!" Languish bullshit from you assfucks.

Dunno about Alberta but there is a huge one in downtown Toronto.
