5. They need to make vegetables cheaper

People like to shop for two weeks. You can’t buy vegetables for two weeks without them going bad. heck, lettuce practically last four days maybe. I find that to be a huge problem. back in the day, you go to your local farmers market every day if you had to, but those in many areas are no longer even available. so you go to the grocery store but people don’t have time to go to the grocery store every day. Plus vegetables are expensive.
