“I think people in general ... they’re just more interested in different flavours from around the world, and they’re more adventurous with the food that they want to try.”

I buy my produce at the Chinese or Persian market because everything is half the price that the grocery chains sell for. And they’re all coming from the exact same farm, if the boxes are any indication.

I’m going to guess a major factor here is price and not some young person thirst for exotic groceries or whatever the fuck. This isn’t young people with disposable income buying fancy fruit. It’s the grocery cartels being too greedy and people are discovering there’s an easy alternative.

The word "price" isn't mentioned once in the article at all, so they obviously completely ignored that as a possibility, but I agree with you. I shop for affordable groceries first and foremost. If that means going to a local "specialty" grocer who is cheaper than the big oligopoly chains, then so be it.

Because this artit is a shiti propaganda like the avocado narrative

Because the same oligarchs that own the stores own the media.
