There's a lot of American kids think their food comes from the grocery store and the concept of seasonality has no meaning to them whatsoever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Seasonality in winter doesn't have to mean sleep-inducing, stew-like, starchy casseroles.
Lets talk about the holidays, more specifically, consumption during the holidays. If it's true that 'We are what we eat,' most of us would be unrecognizable during the period that ranges from the night before Thanksgiving through that day in early January when everyone decides to return to the gym.
It's easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn't magically appear on a supermarket shelf.
Supposedly, summer vacation happens because that's when the kids are home from school, although having the kids home from school is no vacation. And supposedly the kids are home from school because of some vestigial throwback to our agricultural past.
I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.
When I encountered rich people for the first time, I discovered that not only do they holiday in places that are hard to find on a map, but that they also use the names of seasons as verbs. When they asked me, 'Where did you summer and winter growing up?' I would usually say, 'As a child? The same place I springed and autumned.'
Teachers are not glorified babysitters with summers off. Their profession fuels all others, and on a normal day that is amazing enough in and of itself.
One in six people in the U.S. at some point each year don't know where their next meal will come from.
I think traditional supermarkets have to pay attention to the fact that America is more and more conscious of lifestyle.
I believe in a 'give us this day our daily bread' sort of thing. And what I draw from that is, I try not to stock my refrigerator for groceries for the week, cause I might not live to see the full week.
