[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stores stock based on what people buy.

Where I live, there's a MOMs and a Giant.  Guess who does better business?  Giant.

Why?  MOMs is expensive.  Their produce especially.  And they have actually less variety in produce than Giant.  And honestly, they stock just as many processed foods.  They just market them as healthy.

You do understand why MOMs and organic markets generally carry less produce, right? It's because they tend to not carry things that are no in season or produced locally. So yes, Giant has plenty of produce grown in Chile, Costa Rica, New Zealand, etc. And organic produce tends to not look as "nice" as genetically engineered produce that is waxed and polished before coming off the crate weeks ago.

But I do agree that all of these places stock plenty of processed crap. [/quote]

No, I'm not talking about MOMs not stocking more exotic, out-of-season produce.  They don't stock much in the way of regular, in-season produce, as in, every time I go in there, there's only a little left in the produce categories they do stock.  And most of what they have there is either clearly rotting or has mold.

I said nothing about how the produce looks.  I know well all of the arguments about genetically engineered and local and organic and whatever.   I don't need my produce to look waxed and shiny, but I do prefer that it not be rotting.  I've purchased bags of carrots at MOMs several times, only to get home and find when I open them that the carrots are moldy.[/quote]
