The biggest illustration of “liberals vs reality” is when they complain about the lack of “healthy food” available in certain communities,
then when they force it in there at our expense,
they just can’t figure out why no one buys it.
(the fact that the reason it wasn’t there in the first place was because there was no demand for it just doesn’t occur to them)
From the article:
“Eschmeyer said in another interview in July 2010 she is an avid reader of “Obama FoodoRama,” the “blog of record about White House food initiatives” that was saddened when the First Lady’s garden was left to the squirrels during the government shutdown.”
But, but, I thought I saw pictures of Michelle tending to her garden herself? I’m shocked to learn that taxpayers were paying for it!
And notice that the impassioned “justice” regarding fresh healthy food focuses on outright _fresh_, usually fruit: kept about room temperature from field to grocery, with minimal/no preservation techniques applied, leaving a very short window before the stuff rots - to wit, the most difficult and expensive form of food availability, and they’re insisting it happen in the areas hardest to get to and lowest demand for it (even negative demand, if you consider theft/vandalism). They completely reject frozen foods (packaged within minutes of picking, long term stable storage, excellent nutrition retention) and other sub-ideal yet entirely acceptable cost-effective options (canned, minimally processed; good nutritional content).
