[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents let me have every kind of junk food imaginable when I was a kid. As an adult, I barely eat anything junky. I joke that it's because I was "sugared out" by the time I hit 18, but really, it was more that once I could make better choices for myself, I made them. [/quote]

The 70s were all canned food and 80s and 90s about junk foods. 90s saw more emphasis on fresh foods thanks to California Cuisine, but we’ve got a ways to go. [/quote]

Also, I don’t know how organic fresh vegetables became linked with rich white people. Small scale farmers and home plots were how poor folks got by and fed their families. Everyone should be eating fresh produce![/quote]

You don’t get that organic fresh vegetables are expensive— for people who live in urban areas and/or without access to “home plots”?  I live in an apartment. My home doesn’t have a “plot”.  I have herbs in small pots by the windows.  
Add in that many people who are slightly less urban live in townhouses and other communities with rules that prevent visibly growing “fresh produce “ in what little land they have access to.
