Grocery shopping faces significant challenges due to various political and environmental factors. Fresh produce is often missing or in low supply, complicating meal planning. There are concerns about the availability of local farmers at markets, possibly due to immigration fears. Weather patterns influenced by climate change have also resulted in consistent shortages of some vegetables, like Napa cabbage. The impact of oil and natural gas consumption further exacerbates climate issues, while trade policies affect the price and availability of goods. The situation raises concerns about how lower-income families manage these challenges.
A simple weekly task like grocery shopping is rife with pitfalls, more so than during the early days of the pandemic. This is ridiculous, a form of stupid bingo.
Some items aren't and haven't been available because of persistent bad weather due to climate change. I haven't been able to buy Napa cabbage with any regularity for two years now.
