Look up food deserts. Access is absolutely a problem.
- kulahan 1y agoI know - the extreme majority of them are in rural areas where you'd have to drive a couple hours to get to a grocery store. My MIL lives in one. Guess how they get most food? All that super-cheap rural land.
- t-writescode 1y agoAre you suggesting that impoverished people with low income jobs and extreme hours should spend some of their missing time … farming?
- nradov 1y agoIt's an observation, not a suggestion. That's literally how many low-income (not impoverished) people live in rural areas. They grow (and hunt) some food at home but not enough to be self-sufficient, and also have a regular job. Sometimes those jobs involve working long hours at peak times. This is a pretty normal lifestyle.
- kulahan 1y agoYes. A garden is a healthy and productive way to spend your free time. If you have land, EVERYONE should be growing some food. What are you suggesting they do instead? Scroll tiktok? >and extreme hours This is not the problem in rural communities.
- t-writescode 1y agoThe most famously true thing about rural areas is that they’re all exactly the same and the people in them experience identical struggles.
- kulahan 1y agoAh, so that’s how you know they’re all short on time
