There is no universe where it’s easier to directly get to farmers or adjacent farmers markets then it is to get to the grocery store. There are tons of grocery stores located near people whereas farmers are generally far from most people the majority of which live in urban and suburban environments far from farmers
86% live in urban or suburban environments whilst 14% live in rural areas.
One might suggest taxing highly processed food to subsidize less processed food and setting standards for different sized stores as far as how much floor space must be devoted to various categories of food.
How is it more efficient to get a major subset of the community to grocery stores then to distribute the groceries to the communities that don’t have access?
Its worked where tried, there is no reason we can’t scale it more.
I think a lot of people have trouble getting access to food and bringing food to them can provide a lot of nutritional value.
And yeah, I would rather the assholes who own the dollar stores not get the food stamps for stuff that barely qualifies as food.
Also, you can increase the dollars spent, just like Republicans have decreased it. I want people to thrive, not just survive.
