That was my immediate thought, too. That's a problem in low income, crime-ridden neighborhoods. All the regular food market chains just abandoned those areas due to high criminal activity (gang fights, etc.) outside their buildings and theft, unruly patrons and similar issues that made it not worth their effort to be in those areas. Convenience stores are smaller and so offer less items over all. It makes little sense to take up limited shelf space for items that can spoil so quickly.

I can eat raw pig meat in Germany - yes some safety regulations how the butcher, transport company, shops have to treat meat that is for raw consumption (salmonella and other toxic bacteria) but no FDA forbids the consumption of raw meat. The only thing the EU-Version of the FDA does different is that additives to food are more handled like "If you want to add it to the food, first prove that it is safe" (or oversimplified: IT is forbiden until proofed safe for consumption) vs the FDA way "Allowed until someone can proof that it kills people" (overdramatized).

The Neighborhood Market Walmarts only have the 1 entrance, and tend to be the size of traditional grocery markets, and they only sell food.

Depending on the Walmart, it can actually have 3 entrances (the Mega stores), which this one likely had judging by where they started in the middle of the store. The tortillas she was looking at were street tortillas for street tacos, with those you need two stacked tortillas per/serving, so 4 servings=8 tortillas=10 meals (otherwise the juices from the meat will soften the tortillas and it’ll rip in your hand). Also with that brand, if you refrigerate them, they can last for months before they go hard. With the watermelon, you can also dice it up and then freeze it. They don’t defrost well, so they don’t make good eating like it would fresh, but they’re excellent in smoothies or used in place of ice cubes in your drinks. Grapes are also great frozen too, btw.

The peas they bought said sweet peas because there are other kinds, like split peas, yellow peas, or spring peas. Corn also comes in different varieties, but sweet corn is the most common. Hummus is traditionally served with warm pita bread, which you tear off a piece and dip in it. Most Greek, Turkish, or other Middle Eastern restaurants serve it.

Former US Walmart worker, every Walmart's selection is different depending on consumer base. I don't know how many people came in and complained that we didn't have such and such product that the Walmart just a little ways over had. And the Banana at the beginning is to encourage compulsion buying, that's why you have what you might view as random things in places you wouldn't expect, it's all psychology. And look up for navigation, there are signs and you can use the website with the location selected if you're definitely lost. It'll typically give you the aisle letter and number if they carry it in store. Green and red was mango, btw. The tan next the it was cantaloupe. Also, Walmart is one of the worst places to get veggies. They sometimes freeze things which reduces shelf life (some times it's even accidental). Reduced price means shelf life printed on it is coming up. Or they're getting rid of the product from the store completely. The pink potatoes was just the color of the bag. Sauerkraut is typically by the hot dogs and sausage. A lot of great value items come from the same plants with different packaging. Especially milk. Here near where I live we don't pay for bags. Texas also doesn't have food tax. Your list would get you a similar price here. Meat is expensive overall.

Baked beans originated with Native American tribes, particularly the Iroquois, Narragansett, Penobscot and other eastern tribes. Their method involved soaking the beans for several hours or even overnight. Mix them with bear fat (tallow) and maple syrup, then slow cook them in earthen, or deer-skin pots hung over a fire. Later baked beans were introduced in Europe, but they pre-date even the white settlers coming to the new land. It is because we generally cook them in pork fat (lard) that makes them not vegetarian. Of course we may add bacon, maple syrup, brown sugar or other flavorings to them. The vegetarian baked beans are cooked in tomato sauce, with whatever flavoring is desired. (Edited for spelling)

@oldcodger4371 - What kind of weed killer? Weed killer doesn't have to be full of toxic chemicals.
@tonyg4904 ай бұрын
Nope. To be certified as organic you are allowed to use a specific amount of non-organic pesticides. I don't remember the amount but its concerningly high. You would think organic means organic but it doesn't. It just means "made with less carcinogens".

@@reindeer7752 I gotta jump in with this one. So, if you look at the ingredients in an organic weed killer, it will have any amount of citrus or citronella, and many other things. They're telling you the plants involved with the weed killer, but they choose those plants because they have chemicals in them that kills bugs and weeds and that. It's the same toxic chemicals. Everything is made of chemicals. If it kills a bug, it has the same chemicals as the "toxic chemicals" in it.

"Organic"labeling is a scam. Any government sanctioned labeling has had so many loopholes written into the laws by the corporations funding the politicians writing them that you can drive a semi-truck full of toxic chemicals through them.

Every Walmart has two seperate entrances, one is at the grocery side, the other is the general store. If you come into the non-grocery entrance, you have to walk about halfway to get to the food part.

This is also why there are similar videos to this on YT where the family thinks they have gone EVERYWHERE in the store and say things like "Oh, I guess Walmart doesn't have deodorant or mouthwash." They are accidentally walking past or skipping going to the aisles to the right of the Pharmacy where you can get shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, mouthwash, makeup, hair accessories, etc.

Too bad they don't teach cooking in school because if you don't know how to cook, you end up paying for it in so many ways, health wise and monetarily! That's why Americans are fat. They aren't forced to learn to cook when processed foods are cheap and readily available.

I live in the San Joaquin Valley in California and that valley is nothing but agricultural. They grow about 85% of the world’s almonds in central California. But we always have access to fresh everything because it’s pretty much grown down the street. I live next to a field that grows watermelon in summer and they harvest them from the field and take them down the road to the store.

My mom is Brittish, so I grew up eating toast with baked beans for breakfast, and I agree it is amazing. As far as vegetables being available in big city grocery stores, they would have far fewer vegetables than what you saw on this video. Walmart grocery stores may have a lot of vegetables, but the quality seems to be pretty bad compared to local grocery stores that are not in a big city. Plastic shopping bags are usually free where I live, but some big cities and in California or New York State they charge for plastic bags in an attempt to get people to bring their own reusable bags to the store and reduce plastic from ending up in land fills ( garbage dumps). And yes, milk is frequently sold in 1 gallon (3.8 liter) plastic jugs. 1/2 gallon glass bottles are available at expensive stores or when purchased directly from some of the smaller local dairy farms. Walmart does have a huge variety of all kinds of foods from vegetables to crisps, meats and packaged cheeses amd breads but Walmart are not always available everywhere in the USA, especially in big cities like LA and New York City where the local neighborhood grocery stores are much smaller and have less room to display foods that could go bad in a few days which is why you may have heard that vegetables are not available in our inner city stores. One last thought, your diet of McDonalds is terrible if not dangerous, I think you should learn how to prepare and make a few simple meals that you like which could be a lot less expensive and also much more healthy to eat. Even 2 or 3 meals per week could help improve your diet. Hopefully, you will find that you enjoy making your own meals. Good luck with your diet, and keep up the good work. Thanks for this video and your reaction.

As heatherwilkerson8596 says, sales tax policies and rates vary by state and the rates can even vary slightly from county to county or between cities!

Some higher additional taxes are applied to gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol (spirits, wine, and beer).
