Farmers Market Cause Racial Bias...

[Fred]

In the instances of a guy approaching you at your home with a supply of something to get rid of because his "boss say's to sell it all at discount to make room in the warehouse" or "this is a one time offer you ought to take advantage of", they are NOT in the same category as farmers or ranchers selling their home grown/raised produce at market.
These are crooked, slick movers of bad and inferior merchandise who avoid the police and taxes and who are mostly working for somebody else who gets all of the cash except for what the seller can bring in extra on top of what the boss's cut is.
Whether it's perfume, frozen meat, cutlery, or "leftover asphalt from a job somewhere" etc, it's a scam. Their "boss" is always moving his or her fly by night outfit around from city to city, offering promises of lots of tax free cash to industrious pedlers of his cheap crap. People who are naive, unable to find employment for some reason, and the young are employed by them.
Farmers markets are great. My wife and I go every week in the season to get fresh garlic, vegetables, and all sorts of stuff that can't be found elsewhere as fresh and varied. We're sure not liberals.

Edited to say , I agree with Fred . At least the local ones , I'm sure like everything there are those who run a crooked show
There was some guys worked fo a outfit out of D.C. That rode around in little refrigerated truck selling meat .
Bought a small pack of steaks to see if my suspicions were right , and they were . Was the tasteless , toughest steaks I ever had the mispleasure of cooking .

I love animals. I hate that they are raised just for slaughter. Unfortunately I love meat too and there's no real substitute for protein in vegetables. Beans come the closest but tear my digestive system up badly, almost like a poison.

Yeah , it is a hard pill to swallow sometimes , espeaciaaly when you hand raise some that lost thier momma . Guess being raised on a farm made me realize it is just a fact we have to live with .
Matter of fact the last two deer I harvested last week bothered me for some reason . Both were clean kills , made me wonder what the hell was wrong with me .

I agree Allen. I'm with you on that.
Also, chicken, eggs and fish are good sources of protein. However I can still eat and digest beans too quite well. My wife thinks that I'm nuts, but after getting by quite nicely over the years for four months at a time on eggs, beans, rice, chicken, salt, rancid butter and Moho river or even in a pinch, tire rutt water, while living in the bush and jungles of Central America while doing archaeological work, I'm really not very picky when it comes to filling my belly.

Vegetarian is a Miami Indian word meaning lousy hunter/fisherman. We have a farmers market that set up at the local parking lot and goes year round. I can even buy locally grown Buffalo if I was willing to pay the price. Almost everyone post "organic" which I seriously doubt but then I grow our own.
