RE: Confessions Of A Grocery Cart Snoop

in #food7 years ago

I have a tendency to do this too! We live in a poorer area and I hate to say it, but obesity levels are much more noticeable than in the wealthier areas. Even the foods supplied in the supermarkets vary depending on the area. Locally, we can get organic, but the choice is limited. If I travel an hour south, nearer the city there's a supermarket that is positively gourmet and people flock to it! The organic section is huge, several aisles have wholefoods, gluten free and paleo. It's so healthy looking that when you get past these aisles it's like you walked into a different supermarket, because there's the junk again.

Here in Adelaide we have a Grow Free initiative which is expanding rapidly. I wrote a but about it here: https://steemit.com/food/@minismallholding/taking-back-control-of-our-food-production-sharing-the-growth

what wonderful initiatives @minimalsmallholding. Thanks for sharing (I wish older articles could be re-steemed) I would love to be part of an initiate like that. I think we have a seed library in the spring so I am going to contribute to that and see if I can meet some like minded people.
