Quote:Two California professors are criticizing farmers’ markets for causing “environmental gentrification” in which “habits of white people are normalized.”

San Diego State University geography professors Pascale Joassart-Marcelli and Fernando J. Bosco contend that farmers’ markets are “white spaces” oppressing minorities in a chapter for "Just Green Enough," an environmental anthology focused on urban development.

Environmental gentrification is defined as a process where “environmental improvements lead to … the displacement of long-term residents,” according to the anthology.

The professors, as reported by Campus Reform, say farmers’ markets are “exclusionary” because locals cannot “afford the food and/or feel excluded from these new spaces.”

The SDSU professors, who teach classes like “Geography of Food” and “Food Justice,” argue that “farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized.”

And some folks still wonder why Trump won..........

I thought about majoring in "Food Justice" when I was in school. They just didn't offer it back in the day.

You know what is not racist? Mentally ill race hustlers.

Those professors are 100% correct

I hear the pitter patter of little black lives matter feet.

Yeah, how dare people try selling fresh food to urban communities that may be miles from the nearest grocery store...

Yeah, we have two that we frequent here depending on what we want. One only sells what they grow, so if we want something that is in season that's where we go. The other goes to the State Farmer's Market every morning and gets what is available. Both are local people just trying to make a dime.

The town runs a "farmer's market" every third Saturday but they may as well call it a craft show because most of the time there aren't many food selections and some times none at all. We don't frequent it very much.

It's impossible to parody the left. Really, is that an Onion story?

These people are effing morons. Please, please, please do not breed.

Must be talking about California farmers' markets because the ones here are pretty fairly priced.

Same here.

1. I'm a farmer's market guy. I don't think they're racist.

2. I'm not sure the professors are saying it's racist either. This is just an example of a FoxNews.com article giving bad Cliff's Notes from a report from another resource and replacing the title with a more clickbaity one. The professors just said that the markets can end up excluding the people who stood to benefit from them in the first place. They don't just use race, they used income status as well. The don't suggest that they should be done away with or that they are bad in themselves. In a true geography prof fashion, they just suggested better planning for area stability to counter unintended consequences.

Maybe they don’t take EBT on the first of the month.

Vegetables themselves are racists. Why do rotten vegetables turn black? Racism. Ever heard of the Columbian Exchange? A vegetable transfer between the Old World and New named after Christopher Columbus who was was a racist! Vegetables grow best in rural areas inhabited by trump supporters so they're doubly racist.


/sarc or parody

like many of mine these days, it's cash only.....the 1099 is only when req'd....

some only talk about it.....nuts zongo walks it....

We need to take a serious look at what is being taught in colleges and universities in this country. Look, I'm all for academic freedom and all. But when you can chase conservative speakers off the stage...well obviously academic freedom is just a myth anyway. It's time for full audits for schools that take any form of government money. Frankly it's getting ridiculous what is taught today. It's making our young people non-competitive in the global market.
