#5 Farmers Markets

This one is a no-brainer and served as the inspiration for the photo on the far right. That photo described the woman as a “local herb merchant.” Everything about that description is white.
White people like Farmers Markets for a number of reasons. The first is their undying need to support local economies (see future post), and the idea of buying direct from the farmer helps them assuage the fears instilled in them from reading Fast Food Nation (and yes, every white person has read this book).
White people also like Farmer’s Markets because it is outdoors (they love being outdoors), they can bring their dogs and children in expensive strollers, and they get to see other white people. If they are single, this is a good place to meet other single white people who share their passion for sustainability.

You’re drinking the wrong lemonade … or the wrong pee.
You should try the Santa Monica farmers market, and with all those citrus fruits being sold, they have served “real” homemade Lemonade…and for some reason, it looks like, tastes like and has the color of…PEE! Yuck.
