Silk and smaller markets

[Guest guest]

We have a summer cabin in a small rural community. I wouldn't call the place

veg hostile but

I wouldn't call it veg friendly either. They sell 3 foot long strips of beef

jerky at the cash register

of the only grocery store in town(which is a mom and pop grocery, not a chain.)

 

About two years ago, I was shocked to see Silk on the shelves and Gardenburgers

in the freezer case. As others have pointed out

these are not markets that would carry some of these products without the muscle

of big business behind them.

 

There is a learning curve to becoming vegetarian and I think that making these

food items accessible and a little more mainstream

can only be positive for the masses.
