“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.

I got to the local Moroccan and Viet markets near me because they're cheaper and I can walk to them. Having Lemongrass pork chops and Arayas is just a side benefit.

I'd say the boycott also had a big impact.

Anyone know any good local markets in or near downtown Vancouver?
