c-ptsdrecovery:For those who have overactive guilt complexes like me… Not going to reblog all the notes from assholes, but going to add on another thing: It’s much easier to eat fresh fruits and veggies when you have them growing nearby. Growing up in the country, I ate fruit and vegetables consistently because they were always available and always fresh. Literally, I could just go over and pick some strawberries, mulberries, or tomatoes, and eat them right there. Add that to what friends, family and neighbors bring over, and you have a pretty good selection.Living in the city, I have to justify buying any produce with whether or not it will go bad before I can eat all of it (no more mulberries–they’re not sold anywhere because they go bad instantly). Even when it doesn’t go bad, produce also starts losing its flavor pretty quickly after being picked (store-bought strawberries and tomatoes taste terrible), so I have to think more about things to serve it with. On top of that, the cheapest produce in a store usually tastes pretty bad (e.g. “Red Delicious” apples). You can buy local, but that means driving even farther out than to the store–a far cry from, again, the convenience of eating from your backyard.In the end, the closest I get now to convenience, cheapness, and freshness of eating produce when I was a kid is eating frozen and canned :P -- source link
