People are literally giving up staples like broccoli to avoid American products (sh.itjust.works)

I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.

I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.

Yeah, I had to drop my usual bagged salad. I already have seeds so I'll probably get around to trying microgreens like I've been meaning to.

Been growing spicy microgreens in my chameleon's terrarium. OK so far. Hard to pump enough light in there and the energy vs. output will never be worth it. Growing outside is a whole different thing!

Maybe this will get me into trying to do that again.
