I thought it was racist that they eat junk shit because of food desserts and it's white peoples fault they don't have vegetables and stuff.

I'm so confused about what to act indignant over.

Or when they sell something that's not in season and doesn't even grow in the area.

That being said there have been rare times where I've actually seen locally grown produce at one of the farmers markets here. It's a small one and most of the vendors are kind of old and sell shit they make.

There's seashell wind chime guy, the bread guy, the soap lady . . . .

My friend sells the eggs her husband gets from his chickens, I go hang out sometimes.

Now it's "closed for winter" which is silly to me because this is the perfect time to sell greens and most of the stuff there isn't seasonal anyway.

The farmers markets out in LaLa land all accept ebt and snap.

And the organic and locally grown vendors also sell at the swap meet for a 1/3 the price. Same produce.

Farmers markets are such a racket.

What I read into it, is the professor went to a farmer's market, tried to haggle on the price of something. Vendor told him to fuck off.

I can't swing a stick around here without hitting a carniceria or mercado....wondering if those are racist as well...

I have to LOL, because some of the best produce in my AO are from minorities.

We have a good amount of Hmong in MN, and in season, you can get some high quality, locally grown produce from them. You can tell their stuff is not mass produced as the veggies are not uniform, come covered in dirt, taste very fresh/bright, etc. A good number of these farmers are highly respected by local chefs and said chefs buy up a good amount of ther produce at more than fair prices.

So racist!

And yes, you have to be careful at "Farmer's Markets" as you will be paying more for the same stuff your supermarket has if you don't watch it. Here in the Twin Cities, the Minneapolis Farmer's market is notorious for people buying from local produce wholesalers and jacking the price up.

OTOH, Saint Paul's Farmer's Market requires the produce/product come from a close radius around the Cities, and they enforce it. The Market there is full of local produce/meat farmers, cheese makers, etc. who also sell to local chefs.

That very thought is racist to the core. In a free market anyone can sell their produce. Nothing racist about it.

I need to get me a Mercedes van, Patagonia jacket, marmot beanie, Merrill hiking boots, 400 dollar jeans, grow some dreads and sell something organic, locally sourced, gmo, free range, cruelty free at these places so I can fight the capitalist pigs who create food deserts for the underprivileged.

Around here most of the black folks who farm are guess where? In the Black Belt.

There was a black man from Union Town that grew okra. Good stuff. But it was hard for him to get to make money on it transporting all the way to Bham for 10 3/4 bushels a day. Or every other day.

Most of the "farmers" are actually just folks who have a big garden with excess product. So for a few weeks during the summer they go to these places and sell out of the back of their pickup trucks.

These "farmer markets" that are all over the burbs get their product from big vegetable distributors who sell to retail and food service.

I'm sure that these markets could swing their demographics with just a few selection changes if that is what the researchers are worried about.

$1 single cigarettes, single 40 beers, cheezzzy puffs in brown lunch bags (organic I'm sure), and some other stuff as others have said.

Stupid study is just research trying to prove an opinion. They are just trying to drive their agenda.

So, absence of fresh food is racist. Presence of fresh food is racist. Everything is racist.

Would it be racist to suggest that the problem is with these people that continuously complain of "racism"?

That was a rhetorical question.

Another thing who wants to setup a "farmers market" in a predominately black neighborhood?

In a free market if there was money to be made it would happen. This is why they complain about the lack of grocery retailers in mostly black areas.

These retailers can't make money. They have high theft rates and overhead because of security costs. the same would be true for a "farmers market".

This does not even get into forms of payment. I bet you most of those "farmers markets" in the burbs don't take food stamps/EBT but can swipe a credit/debit card.

It never ceases to amaze at what vile comes from California. Seriously, it has to be the most perverse state there is with the mentality to let it go on. I know there are good people there as well but the liberal ideals that come from that state are among the worst. Thank goodness for the electoral college, otherwise the who country would be a Sodom and Gomorrah.

WTF? what does a start time have to do with race? is the ACLU saying that part of the student body is too stoned, or hung over to get up by a certain time? Sounds like the argument against Voter ID. Gotta love a government that is wholly paternalistic.

Also most vendors don't accept EBIT or WIC or some other kind of government food assistance. Could they spend thousands of dollars to get set-up to accept these forms of payment even though most people that use those forms of payment don't shop there, yes. That fact that they refuse makes them racist.

All the ones in my area are run by the migrant workers with subpar produce that is rejected for sale to major buyers and from the farms they work on or stuff they buy in bulk from Wal-Mart.

Racist, that hilarious and

The local Farmers Market is a true Farmers market. Before they allow you to buy a stand site they come to your farm. If you don't have a farm you don't get a site. If you claim your produce is organic you have to show the inspectors your certs.

Every week during the summer there's a farmers market in the park by the State capital and most of the customers are White leftist and the vendors are Mexican. Time to shut this racism down!
