And like I told another person here, I was referring to groceries, not prepared vegan food. There is no prepared vegan food around here, just scant ingredients at certain department stores.

Grow food where? What kind of person can afford enough land to grow their own food? Plus doordashers usually get multiple orders in one trip kind of like carpooling, saves gas. I would just be going just for my own groceries thus wasting gas.

No doordash delivers groceries. I'm referring to groceries. I prepare all my own food these days.

 

I live in a vast rural area in the central valley of California. Here, people are fanatical carnivores. There is very little vegan food and I live very far from where most of it is available and don't drive for many reasons many of them environmental. Getting there would require riding a bike in the heat most of the year and people here hate bicyclists. Delivery like doordash is really expensive and only the same two dashers will take my vegan order I've noticed.

Has anyone found any useful tips for this basic kind of situation that I'm driving at?

100%. Yes. This. High five.

I think with the third parties there is less corruption. I think there is a lot of good to be done with the green party.

 

I'm voting green because if democracy is 'on the ballot' then I figure it's the choice I actually believe in and not just the slightly lesser of two evils. And so recently I feel targeted by democrats and its getting kind of weird and I was wondering if any other greens are experiencing the same thing in the US. I'm very open about my party preference and intentions for 2024.

Wonderful. For what it's worth I'm here and I support this area of thought and work very very much. It seems to be another battlefield in the science wars or adjacent - techies getting mad because people are trying to comment socially (or in this case ecosocially) on what they, the diehard techies, regard as objective reality in their domain of study. Well it doesn't mean we can't endeavor to think in an interdisciplinary way here. It's weird how militant even many of these open source 'anarchist' zealots get about some people trying to see what they can do about addressing the issue of a massive machine of planetary destruction. I mean it seems right up their alley otherwise.
