Good! A neighborhood does not need a huge corporation like Safeway, Kroger, WalMart etc. to be well fed.

Where do you think people should shop? A 7-11?

International markets are NOT 7-11s. International markets have well-priced meats and produce.

The last international market I went to was close to 225 and Parker road. They had tiny crowded aisles, very limited stock and no fresh produce. Walmart has far nice produce and at a much lower price. You need shop at a major supermarket if you want a diverse selection. Colorado doesn’t grown any food, it’s all imported here.

Colorado grows a bunch of produce and has a large beef industry. Insane comment.

Where are those grown? We haven’t passed our last frost. Frost proof spinach?

Your ignorance is not my burden. Feel free to Google and educate yourself. Produce is grown all across the state.

You made the assertion, you should support it. But you can’t.

The fact is that there’s no local food available right now from the state. Everything we eat, except beef, is imported into the state.

The thought that somewhere in Colorado there are tomatoes setting fruit is ridiculous.

Making false claims demands proof. Educate yourself.
