Why are people assuming a city-owned grocery store in a food desert will only be stocked with fruits and vegetables?

There's no reason why it can't include rotisserie chicken, cheap ready-to-eat meals, meal of the day, etc. In fact, if you have one store in each borough, they can centralize prepared food production and do a daily variety.

But won't someone think of the rotting vegetables!!!11!!1!

Please, go talk to these people who supposedly care so much about before supporting these nonsense socialist ideas.

Uh, you mean MAHA ideals? How dare they!!

That's what I'd do, great idea.

If his election makes people like you froth at the mouth, then it’s probably a good thing.

Remarkable that today caring for the poor rather than enriching billionaires with more tax cuts is considered “communism”. This country has drifted so far to the right that people become enraged at the very notion of reducing income inequality.

They have to convince themselves and us it will fail before we even try it. And so often, when a progressive actually gets the chance to try a program designed to help normal people, it works! And they hate it. It's like they truly believe only some of us should have good lives and everyone else deserves to suffer. Or they truly believe one day they too will be a billionaire, and thus dont want to see billionaires taxed.

Processed food has preservatives and can last forever. Dairy and produce cannot. The city will subsidize and pay for all those rotting vegetables and in low income and even high income areas, fresh vegetables are never selected . Grocery chains usually have a deal of the day in produce section to attract customers but with the ice raids and tarriffs that can’t happen anymore so even more Americans are ditching produce

PP couldn't define communism if they tried. It's just reactionary squawking. We should ignore them.

Let’s see how he governs. Maybe he’ll surprise you.

I think the concept of city owned grocery stores is actually pretty interesting especially in underserved areas.

It would be better to offer some incentives to get actual grocery chains into neighborhoods that need them, or add more police to the area.

Yeah, let's keep trying to same things that have never worked! More capitalism and over policing is surely the solution!

Have you tried communism? Study up on grocery stores in the Soviet Union.

Idk, does it work at all like capitalist food deserts or capitalist obesity crises, or capitalist childhood malnutrition?

Anyway, I don't think Mamdani campaigned on communism, so...

Food deserts exists because the people who live there don't want it. It's really not that hard.

"Capitalist obesity crises" LMAO.

You think food deserts exist because the people there don't want food? LMAO!

Attributing every failure of the Soviet Union to communism is as stupid as ignoring the real failures of our capitalist state.

Does capitalism cause obesity? Not in an of itself. It's a nuanced issue. And so are the failures of the Soviet Union and communism as an economic system.

Please spend some time in an actual "food desert" and think about how many people there want to buy a bunch of raw broccoli to cook. Oh, wait, you probably live in some gentrified Trader Joes neighborhood and would never set foot in Ward 8.

Get over yourself.

The fact that you think poor people can't eat or cook fresh vegetables just tells us how much of a classist assh#le you are. It's about giving people in food deserts OPTIONS and CHOICE. Some will buy the broccoli, some will buy the packaged food. Respect their humanity - humans crave choices.

lol

Go check out the free school breakfast and lunches and report back what goes in the garbage versus down someone’s mouth.

I have a kid. I know he prefers junk food, almost all kids do. But he has to eat fruit and veggies when he's at my dinner table.

Again, it's so illuminating that you compare people in poor neighborhoods to school children. I stand by assertion: classist assh#le.

NP. Those who eat the healthy food will seek it out, food desert or no.

Out of one side of your mouth you all complain about SNAP paying for unhealthy food, screeching about how poor people shouldn't be buying soda, and now someone wants to make healthier food more accessible, and now you're complaining about that out the other side of your mouth. Please make up your stupid little minds, because it sounds like you just don't want poor people to eat.

I live in Baltimore you dumb MF, and poor people eat broccoli too.

Will you volunteer $10,000 more in taxes to subsidize a grocery store that will throw away $9,500 worth of broccoli every year? Send me a check, please.

Yes, I just went long brocolli.

nYC is going to have the fittest, healthiest unemployed never-married with multiple children poor people in the world!!!
