Not at all..

Just making the oft overlooked point that grocers and convenience stores book a ton of sales from snap customers..
and the transfer of wealth, from government to private sector, ends with them

This is just wild. One key to avoiding this expensive and frankly, skills-sucking trend is to have a dozen repeat meals that you master and that are good for you as well as satisfying; what is this obsession with endless variety or novelty? I get that eating out!

Boycotts only hit when the cash flow stops. Think of it like a mutual aid fund: if everyone contributes, the fund grows. If you just stop spending but don't organize the alternative, the money just d...

If you don't vote, don't bother bitching about the prices at the grocers, gas station, lack of healthcare, condition of the world, etc. Your silence brought it here.

Big grocers shouldn’t get to block competitors and leave communities with fewer options for food. We’re fighting for AB 1857 and AB 1776 to change that. Our partners at California Food and Farming Network wrote about this @sfgate.com
@governor.ca.gov sign these bills.
