What if Kroger was allowed to keep those Marianos if they required to set up "price controlled" stores in #FoodDeserts?

Always brings me joy to see all the shoppers excited about fresh food, extra so when they were excited about my cherry tomatoes :)

This is a cool initiative. One of the reasons my eldest moved back to his home town was that he was tired of having to drive 45 miles to the grocery store. Be nice if this catches on more places.

It's a good idea - in theory.

Across America, rural communities and big cities are limiting the expansion of dollar stores, which use a mix of illegal predatory tactics, labor abuse, and monopoly consolidation to destroy the few community grocery stores that survived the Walmart plague and turn poor places into #FoodDeserts.

I did the Utrecht #AlbertHeijn 20 before sunrise.
20 km by #bicycle to all 20 AH neighborhood grocery stores within 10 minutes by #bike of #Utrecht Centraal.
Grocery stores are excellent indicators of healthy neighborhoods. That's why city planners talk about #FoodDeserts. When you must go a long way to get healthy food, you spend time and money just to stay alive. Not in Utrecht! #Food also indicates good supply chains + emergency resilience.

Buffalo turns to food justice after supermarket shooting
The shooting at Tops Friendly Markets reignited conversations around food insecurity in Black communities – and residents are reimagining and rebuilding
“We can’t keep just stacking poverty on top of poverty,” Butler said. “Whether it’s jobs or retail stores, or food stores, bringing this here allows the Black community to see something other than what they’ve been seeing.”

Comfort food? It is for us #Mediterranean #HealthyDiet
I costed ingredients on Aldi’s prices. Total estimate cost =£4.45. Feeds#6. Time to make =30 minutes (costed 0)
I realise many can’t afford, live in #FoodDeserts have no car or can’t afford #transport to cheaper supermarkets
