[@lauralynz1907]

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.

[@pamalter]

Food deserts are a bit of a myth. Food pantries, food banks, and hot meals are available even in low-income areas.

We also continue these food programs in the summer, when school is out. 🤠

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).

Sweet corn is corn used for human consumption. The other is field corn and is used for animal feed. While it can be eaten, the sugar content of field corn is less. Whether it is labeled sweet corn or just corn, if it is sold in the grocery store it is the same.

[@scottmenze2704]

​@@bonnieprice8924not true. It's all about harvest time. To be "sweet corn," the harvest has to happen at the peak of sugar development. To be considered "sweet corn," the harvest date generally runs from about late June through mid-August and travels up through the Midwest over that time.

The oranges were marked down because they have been on the shelf longer. They get discounted to make sure they sell. This happens often with perishable items.

it also happens if they have overstock and bought more than they can sell. In america, most produce will not stay on a shelf for over a week. it also happens if stores get better deals on select items from suppliers which is why fresh daily delivered produce can be on sale. distributors sell produce they have excess of for cheaper. it is why 1 week the same fruit can be a dollar more a pound and look even worse quality. it is about quantity orders and what distributors are trying to push in a particular week

[@davidcharlesfisher5692]

Not only are our grocery stores packed with fresh fruits and vegetables, but in smaller cities/towns you can drive down the road and there'll be old guys with their pick up trucks with tailgate down with their fresh grown corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, strawberries, plums, peaches, and basically any fruit or veggie you might want for sale, like a dozen of each for $5, etc!

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.

[@GremlinSciences]

@@Dayanaria The tortillas split from being cold, not from the juices. Toast them in a pan or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds first and they hold up a _lot_ better. It's still 2 tortillas per serving, but by warming the tortillas first you only need 1 per taco.

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)

Cucumbers have smooth slightly waxy skin, and a lightly sweet cool melon-like taste, with crispy, cool texture (this is where the phrase “cool as a cucumber” comes from). Whereas zucchini’s have a slightly bumpy and prickly skin and a woody stem still attached, they have a mild flavor with a grassy type taste, with a spongy texture. Cucumbers are typically served raw in salads or as a snack, whereas zucchini’s are cooked in stir-fries and casseroles. Biggest difference? They’re both a type of gourd and are technically a fruit (although we treat them like a vegetable), but the zucchini is more closely related to pumpkins and squashes, while the cucumber is it’s own family but is more melon-like.

sweet corn is specifically corn on the cob in america , I'm from Iowa.

[@FireofStars]

fun tip, American grocery stores give you the price per oz on the price tag in smaller font. The little orange on those yellow price stickers have the price per oz. It helps when comparing sizes because you can see which is the best price based on how much it costs per oz

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.

The loaf of bread that’s 6 dollars is a specialty bread. This bread is made with sprouted wheat and very healthy seeds and such. I sometimes buy this bread, because it is very nutritious and delicious. It is expensive, but worth it. Btw, there is no sales tax on groceries, at least not in my home state.

That's Dave's killer bread. It's so good, but yes, it's expensive

[@Ballaurena13]

​@@JustM2024That Ezekiel bread she got is the best I have found for health, though I prefer the kind with sesame seeds. Dave's has good physical ingredients but has some spiritual issues.

There is a sales tax on food in ILLINOIS. if they could find a way to tax us for breathing, they would

All Americans definitively do NOT eat healthy, but there are plenty of healthy options available in our grocery stores ( organic, gluten free, farm to table, etc.)

[@gnericgnome4214]

all food is organic. "organic" is an invention to milk money out of foolish people for poorer quality.

[@Notanothercrayon]

If Americans didn't eat healthy stuff then the stores wouldn't sell healthy stuff. It wouldn't be economical.

[@angelsndaisies6188]

I was going to say that. I remember in the 90s writing to my grocery store asking for organic choices and got a letter back saying that they've had so many requests that they did add organic sections to almost every product. There just would not be the selections seen at these stores if people weren't buying it. Especially organic and fresh food.

I've learned to shop on the outside of the isles. Practically every thing that are located in the isles is junk, except olive oils spices, thing like that. There are the convenience frozen foods to beware of.

Americans have been eating better over the last twenty years or so. The younger generation was raised to eat more fruits and vegetables. (Unfortunately our fast food restaurants are prolific)

[@boydminer]

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.

No sales tax on food in Florida. Every state is different in that. I'm from Florida and moved to Nashville, TN like nine years ago and about died that there was not only sales tax on food but $.10 to the dollar. Absolutely crazy!

[@petseeker]

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 states will have exemptions for groceries like Florida, or for clothing, or for medicine and medical supplies. Some higher additional taxes are applied to gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol (spirits, wine, and beer).

[@heatherwilkerson8596]

@@petseeker even on tobacco and sugar. Soda and tobacco in New York is absolutely insane because they put such a high tax on both. I'm not sure but I think New York has state tax at the end of the year also.

I live in SC but I'm only about 5 mins from the Georgia border. Georgia has a tax on food where as SC does not. I would shop at the Georgia Walmart more often if they didn't have the tax because it's slightly closer than the nearest SC Walmart.

Actual food is not taxed. Pre-made food or alchohol is.

Walmart is considered a "Mega Store". It went past "supermarket" a long way back when they installed bays and started repairing cars LOL . Dude, most of our bigger stores have so much fruit and vegetables they have to almost give it away sometimes. Eat whatever bread you like dude, like they say no one here get's out alive anyway. America has a lot of great vegetarian Tex-Mex dishes. Pita bread goes with hummus for dipping.

[@BeardedNiz]

Walmart just set the mark, they haven't seen Super Target, Costco, WinCo, Sam's, etc. I mean you can buy a car at Costco

[@user-jv5pp8pv9l]

Walmart was taking care of cars before they ever sold full on groceries. When I was growing up you could take your car to the Walmart mechanic and then do your household shopping, clothes, electronics, toys, etc. while you waited. But they only had snack items no groceries.

[@joseph1150]

Walmart added groceries well after all the other services were offered.

Walmart has “Super Walmarts” and then “Walmart Neighborhood Markets” Super Walmarts are literal warehouses where one half is groceries and the other half is a mixtures of all of the things. The neighborhood markets are just grocery stores but they’re still fairly large.
