I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven’t shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.

mapmyhike@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•DOGE goon accused of screaming at workers on 36-hour shift15·16 days agoI suspect the goal is to ensure all these services and institutions fail so that tRump can assign his buddies to privatize them for profit and skimming. If you thought health and home owner insurance companies were corrupt, wait until you apply for social security or medicare and have it declined by a baby tRump or MAGAt Republican.

mapmyhike@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Are egg producers inflating prices during the bird flu outbreak to boost profits?141·2 months agoI BOUGHT my eggs from small local farmers but they have been charging market prices. I asked a few of them why. One said if he didn’t that people would swoop in and buy all his inventory and likely resell it. Another, who ALSO has not been affected by bird flu said it is an investment for IF he loses his flock. So now I don’t buy eggs and have not been to a breakfast diner in about a year. I have actually ceased from eating out completely and purchase my food mostly from local farms and cut out meat. My cholesterol, sugar and BP have all greatly improved. Who knew, less is more. I am still annoyed that local farmers are keeping up with the market. The local Amish sold “pun’kins” to Walmart at .50 a piece which Walmart then sold for up to $8. At the Amish stand, they were selling them for $8.
