The price of our food

The meat processing workers.

Yes, vegans, the agricultural workers.

The food transporters.

The workers in the food sellers.

If you're having any food tonight, think of them.

That's why we should do everything we can to ensure we don't get those people sick. I've been laying low since the first week in March and have never let up. Grocery shopping every other week, appointments and a few drive-thru's. That's it. Easier for me than most. I'm single and retired. I don't have to even let anyone in my house. That would make it even stupider if I was blowing off precautions.
