Chances are that they have never been to a 'Farmers Market', but are regurgitating some trope that some professor had stated in class as doctrine.
At a Farmers market you will find fruits, vegetables, cheese , and sauces all at 20%- 30% less cost than retail in the stores; and many of these are 'organically grown'.
Growers are everything from commercial farms, to backyard growers, to middlemen who buy at cut-rate and then sell, in all kinds of weather from their appointed stalls.
So they get their Caesar salad topped with feta and croutons, and then dine on risotto with lemon-garlic sauce with little understanding of how it got on their plate
They demonstrate their arrogance, and yet because they have never experienced a farmers market, they call it "racist", the ultimate reply of stupidity and ignorance,
especially when they don't know what to say, or have any intellectual rebuttal.
Calling something that you haven't experienced "racist" is a 'cop out'.
When hard times come, most of them will starve once the shelves are bare; they think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows,
and that vegetables are grown within foam packages with saran wrap, all that you need to do is bend over and harvest off the ground.
They prove that 'ignorance is bliss', and have no appreciation for those that work with their bodies and their minds to overcome insects, weather, cropp failures, etc.,
to produce foods for their snacks and dinner.
Back in my old town in Maryland, there were TWO farmers markets. There was one that was regularly open on the bypass road called Knills, which offered a variety of things during the week, including homemade pies on the weekend. There were all kinds of fresh veggies, including some you wouldn’t find in the grocery store.
The other one convened regularly on summertime Wednesdays in a parking lot downtown and sold all sorts of things, including more pies.
After I buy a house here in Florida, I will be on the hunt for farmers markets in the area. Given the climate, they’re likely open all year in the Pensacola area.
