That's very much victim blaming in my opinion.
When you're on a busy schedule because of work and don't have a lot of free time, which is increasingly the case in today's society, going to only one grocery store that's closest to home is often the only option.
Not everyone has the luxury of having the free time to seek out farmers markets. Nor are these available everywhere.
The problem is this self regulation capitalist bullshit and a lack of government regulation with people's well-being in mind.
Spoken like a rich snob who has never had to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.
Prepping fresh food takes time most Americans don’t have. Our system is set up so only the wealthy have time to cook.
We need better safety nets and higher pay in order for people to simply have enough time to eat.
