Two professors from San Diego State University claim in a new book that farmers’ markets in urban areas are weed-like “white spaces” responsible for oppression.

Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J Bosco are part of an anthology released this month titled “Just Green Enough.” The work, published by Routledge, claims there is a correlation between the “whiteness of farmers’ markets” and gentrification.

“Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized,” the SDSU professors write, the education watchdog Campus Reform reported Wednesday.

Fried chicken is good under any circumstances. I prefer it with rice and gravy, but waffles are a fine side, too.

"Yeah, that's her real face. "

Yep! More "dead" eyes...

[bagster]

I don’t even think “normalize” is a real word.

[EdnaMode]

Yup this one takes the cake.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

These dumb liberal kooks only cause more people to abandon their BS.

Everything is Racist Ping.

Funny because these damn gentrified URBAN markets are usually perpetrated by the all-knowing all-tolerant white liberals. You know, the fools interested only in non-capitalist “organic” matter.

[chesley]

Don’t go to any.

I thought “food deserts” were a bad thing? Now farmer’s markets are a bad thing because they encourage eating something besides junk food?

[WMarshal]

I have to ask. When did the habits of the majority of Americans, who are white people, become a normal in their own country?

Was this decision to brand white culture ever voted on by white people or even Americans?

They can have my kale when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I keep looking for sarcasm tags on this type of stuff, but no luck.

I tried to find the original publication. Didn’t, but I did come across this “gem” from the National Science Foundation.

Read the babble which will be the alleged research “product”. And note the size of the grants to date.

“Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized,”

Reminds me to buy more ammunition.

[Trillian]

Just what in the heck are they talking about?

[Freedom4US]

That’s the whole point, the last thing they want is people to “bond”, they want everybody fighting each other.
