The fruits and vegetables are escaping the asylums AND THEY WANT POWER.
Two San Diego State University professors contributed a chapter to a new anthology arguing that farmers' markets are "insidious" "white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized."
The farmers markets in my area has a good representation of Hispanic growers and sellers.
white SJW vs regular white folks, that is the white on white crime. This article might sound ridiculous to some of you, but it follows the exact same pattern of Chinese cultural revolution.
LOL article says geology profs. (Rocks) They are geography (people and place)
Letting POC buy fresh veggies, likely at lower cost, directly from a farmer.
Am I the only one thinking this is a win-win for the POC and the farmer?
i believe their point was that the farmers markets are located in predominantly white neighborhoods. they're teaching in San Diego and their backgrounds are Latin America and France.
so what they're talking about is a sort of spatially-driven class system in certain places, where brown people grow the food and ship it to white farmers markets in high-cost, gentrified areas. that's what they're observing.

well i think they're helping inform the argument against subsidizing farmers markets as a public policy, like some places do. or to consider the race and class based implications of where to locate the farmers market, relative to the people growing the food, and to not have government inadvertently encouraging race / ethnic divisions.
I do think that they're stretching to find something meaningful here, but I also think it's important to understand their point before launching into criticism.
These people cannot be serious with this supposed food consumption habits of white people nonsense. Open-air food markets are part of everyday life in countries where people of color often come from and, depending on location, in the U.S. as well. Perhaps in some areas the prices may be too high for some low-income people, including people of color, but many times people just go to their particular ethnic store or an international store and buy everything in one place. But farmers markets are nothing new to people of color...not at all.
Our biggest market is smack in the middle of the urban area most of the immigrants settle in. It is the only public place you can see so many African immigrants gathered. The food and prices are reasonable and most of the vendors accept food stamps.
Too bad the "professors" chose two very affluent places in California to use as an example, to push their creepy position.
Must you leave your race-baiting stink on every thread that concerns black people? No self-control at all?
Interesting !!!
Lets take a look at who is leaving the race baiting stink on the farmers market and not make it personal.
Pascale Joassart-Marcelli, Ph.D. https://geography.sdsu.edu/people/joassart
From her Bio.
Her research and teaching focus on urban, economic and political geography, with an emphasis on poverty, immigration, civic participation and social inclusion as they pertain to children, families and communities.
She is particularly interested in participatory methods that engage young people in the research process.
She teaches courses in urban geography, economic geography, geography of food, and food justice.
His research areas include analyses of the geographies of urban social movements, and the connections between children, families and their communities, lately in relation to issues of food security and food justice.
He has published articles and book chapters on the emotions of social movements, the connections between place, memory and activism, and the political geographies of children and young people.
WTF
Since we can work with kids lets see how we can f****p their brains and indoctrinate them into the collective.
Pascale says to Fernando : if that don't work act like a Dem from Hollywood and show them your carrot.
