#5 Farmers Markets
January 18, 2008 by clander
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.

the only reason i shop at farmer’s markets is because it’s cheaper than Safeway. I don’t really care about local farming, because I am not white, I’m brown, and brown people pick America’s tomatoes (under slave wage) and support the country’s economy that way.
well… you could always go home.
I am home. And my home is here in America. Its been my home for about 50,000 years. I will never leave.
Greg just got PWND! Much respect for being civil and not telling him to go back home.
I agree…surprised? ( Note: No luck on hunting trip for me – as a group, fair).
