I got a taste of what I believe leads people to tell me they can't avoid packaging or buying fresh, local produce.

Living in a semi-rural area led me to shop in a large supermarket for the first time in a year or two. They carried only doof and stuff shipped from across the country and world.

I share the story and the uplifting results.

Here are the notes I read from:

When I talk about taking over a year to fill a load of trash, people often say "You can but I can't."
I'm staying outside the city and shopped with my stepfather in a supermarket for the first time in at least a year
Onions
Everything packaged, almost nothing loose
Produce out of season, can't tell from where
Pears from Argentina
Bulk food section
All doof
Realized why people say they can't do it
But I don't accept
Plan to talk to manager about bulk foods
Researched farmers market
June start
Emailed people, they responded
Mom and stepfather knew one
Visited
Learned about Hub
Ordered Hub yesterday
Living by environmental values always leads to joy, community, connection
If you just accept what they offer, you're bull with ring in nose
Result is obesity, dependence,
