Gross Milk at Catskill High School - Everyone complains School does nothing to fix it.

Commissary food here is often better and cheaper for normal consumer. Because the good stuff gets sold directly to restaurants or kicked out of the markets by the "market mafia" like we call them.

The "Market mafia" is only for few of the bigger influenced farmers/ fishers that get all the rights to sell in the major cities and even worst now it even reached more of the smaller towns that have some kinda marketplace. If you want in, you need to pay a good amount that makes it not worth it, so they put it in an "it is free for everyone, " but the price tag is so high you will sell in negative. For the "mafia" it is dirt cheap since they get to buy it directly from government.

Because of that, the quality is much lower, and prices are sky high to the point it is better to avoid the local markets. It is fucked up, but we have fishers and farmers that sell in the back of a truck in parking places that is a makeshift shop that drives away fast in a matter of seconds. (quality varies )

So that is why not every place has "good" markets. That is also a shame, since most local super markets here don't care about the fruit and vegetable to the point that there is sometimes rot on some of them. And it don't help that they all buy from the same stock.

I honestly would not mind paying little more for local produce but because after the "eat healthy" wave, the price skyrocket to 10x what it is worth in the local shops.

the second part was supposed to be an answer to another, but I mixed up the comment fields.
