It's hugely dependent on a lot of factors but what I can say for sure that's helped for me personally:

• having more locally sourced options like farmers markets and local butchers
• not having to commute to work every day (the extra time and energy saved means I'm much more willing to cook something healthy)
• a healthier work/life balance
• making more money... Buying local isn't cheap.

I know veggies, even when they're not local, are cheaper than a lot of processed food but not when we're talking convenience and energy spent. Having the energy to prep and cook fresh produce, as well as a local market within walking distance have been the biggest factors for me.

I know I'm a pessimist but I feel like this is another one of those issues where we take the mask off and it's just that monster capitalism underneath.

I've only ever seen Quora as a joke, I didn't think people were actually getting good answers there.

Me too thanks

Omg I guess I've been tricked. I had read that they were mostly in at least the US but now can't find any evidence to support that. Gotta do my homework better I guess.

There's one company that is making them that has customers all over north america but I guess it's not as common as I thought. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/plastic-sticker-produce-ban-alternative-1.6844972

It really bothers me because I want to buy actual good quality stuff but I have no idea how to find it because I don't trust any reviews or anything on search engines at all really.

The stickers are compostable and edible already

Editing to say I'm a liar I guess, since I couldn't find proof to back this claim and have just been eating plastic sometimes.

I like to call anyone older than me old because it's funny and I perpetually feel like a child.

When I was little I thought my parents were old, now they are in their 60s and I think they are young, and I am the age they were and still feel like a child. Otherwise I'm not sure I really had a concept of age as a tie to mortality when I was younger.

But winRAR is free anyway

I was listening to this podcast that had an ad for a government system to help out people experiencing substance use (specifically alcohol) issues...directly followed by a government liquor store ad. In every single episode.

In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like "yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with" and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.
