Low Tox Life 440. What would your dream grocery store be like? Let’s build it with Jon Steinman
What would your dream grocery store look like?
Chances are, like many, you see a lot of injustice in the land of ‘food giants’ with corporate CEOs paid millions and large percentages of families skipping meals due to food insecurity:
Is it hopeless? Will it all just get worse?
It doesn’t have to. That’s why this podcast is here with you today.
My guest, Jon Steinman, author of "A Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-ops in the Age of Grocery Giants," and I discuss the history and evolution of the food system, with a particular focus on the rise of low-priced food culture and its societal implications (Did you know we used to spend 30% of our wages on food?).
Steinman advocates for food co-ops of all shapes and sizes as a more equitable and resilient alternative to corporate-owned grocery giants, highlighting their community ownership, fair practices with suppliers, and positive contributions to local economies and well-being. The food prosperity economy.
We explore the realities of the Grocery Giant downsides while painting a picture of all that can be - and in some cases IS and how you can have this in your community, too.
I hope you love this conversation as much as I did
Alexx Stuart, your host.
