I just want to add that I’m not promoting Aldi here. It’s definitely not perfect in the bigger food economy picture. Aldi is part of the global race to the bottom in the food industry that touches many aspects of the material and social economy from farmers to consumers.
For example, I just heard someone bought a dozen eggs at an Aldi in Missouri for 44 cents. That’s crazy and disturbing. Imagine how much the farmers got on that sale. Imagine how the chickens producing those eggs live. Imagine the nutrient contents of those eggs compared to pasture raised eggs.
But the thing is that big name grocery stores selling conventional things sell the same eggs for a lot more money. If you’re going to shop conventional, it makes sense at least not to get ripped off.
