Whole Foods isn’t the only store providing vegetables or pre-cut vegetables.
Even my local Walmart has pre-cut vegetables.
It’s not an affordability issue either. It’s cheaper to buy the same number of calories from vegetables, fruits, and legumes than meat right now. Meat prices are unusually high and it doesn’t seem to be slowing consumption.
- SirMaster 10mo agoIs it? Chicken breasts are 2.69/lb at my store. I guess it's been creeping up over the years, but doesn't seem unusually high to me.
- s1artibartfast 10mo agoVegetables are pretty terrible for caloric sustenance. Low density and high price.
- fhdkweig 10mo agoIt depends on what you call a vegetable. In the US, corn, potatoes, and ketchup are considered vegetables. You need to make a distinction between leafy greens and starch.
- rootusrootus 10mo agoWell, corn and potatoes are indeed vegetables, so there's that. And I think the only person who ever said ketchup was a vegetable with a straight face was Ronald Reagan 40 or 45 years ago.
- fhdkweig 10mo ago"Eat your vegetables. They're good for you." shouldn't mean dipping your fries in ketchup. But that is what happens if you call corn and potatoes as vegetables.
- SoftTalker 10mo agoMy consumption of beef is way down because of the cost. I'm almost exclusively buying poultry and pork now for meat. Occasionally I'll get something like a top round or flank cut if it's on sale.
