    you are thinking in terms of people getting the best for their money instead of people being starved and trying to make a dollar last.

    I’m not, actually. When I say “in bulk” I don’t mean a 20kg sack. 500g of rice or dry legumes goes a long way for a low price.

    When we were starving we mostly got whatever was on sale or short-dated, so we ate different things all the time out of necessity, but dry goods were always reliable, which is why I asked about them.


  • I personally think free-range farming in a non-harmful way is great, but you should still consider that the chicken is incapable of consenting. Your relationship with any confined animal is inherently a slave/master one, and I understand why some people object to that. We’re keeping the animal comfortable and extending their lifespan, but we’re also robbing them of agency, and I feel like that’s something worth thinking about.

    Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the problem, but aren’t foods like beans and rice which can be ordered in bulk online a good solution for people stuck in food deserts? I would think that anything with a long shelf life would be superior to perishables. (American eggs have to be refrigerated, right?)
