    if youre directing people to this video, you should probably edit the part that says miyokos rappers are compostable or put some kind of disclaimer on it lol

    my “””controversial / unpopular””” opinions on shopping zero waste: 1. i opt for naked conventional produce over organic plastic-wrapped produce because it’s just as safe and usually always more affordable; 2. steel cans (and aluminum too!) are infinitely recyclable and have a high recyclability rate so i don’t think twice about throwing canned stuff in my cart; 3. by some measures, plastic is more sustainable than glass; 4. i think it’s better to buy tofu in plastic than meat in your own container; 5. BUT shaming people for not being vegan is not okay; and 6. personal health, ethics, accessibility/affordability, and food miles all outweigh zero waste! agree / disagree?? i want to hear your unpopular opinions for a future video!

    Something that feels illegal but isn't: Taking cherries and grapes out of their original package to only buy what you need.

    I have never thought of doing that with the cherries. That is a definite must for my next trip. Have you tried checking out kings red and white’s or the super compare foods nearby it?

      ooh a durhamite yay! i'd actually never heard of those grocery stores -- are they good? we try to stick to our neighborhood bubble to save gas, the food lion we went to is the one on chapel hill rd.!

      @@allisonfromearth super compare foods is pretty decent if you’re looking for things like a variety of peppers and more Spanish style foods in their produce section. Kings I feel has a little more meat variety, in plastic unfortunately but I am going to try and get to them one day to see if there’s something I can bring in instead. They have milk and lemonade in the glass jugs that can be returned for a discount and they go back for sterilization and reuse to the manufacturer if I understand correctly.

    Question: as a vegan, is ghee vegan? I'm just curious, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I do meatless Monday!

    • @allisonfromearth
      @allisonfromearth  2 года назад +1

      ghee is clarified butter, so dairy! vegans don't consume animal products. meatless monday is something to be proud of! keep it up 🧡

      @@allisonfromearth thank you for informing me of that, I really don't know many vegan or vegetarian. I hope to include more vegan nights like: tofu Tuesday, tomato Thursdays (salads all day)😁, eggless frittata Friday, and smoothie Sunday. I haven't figured out Wednesday and Saturday, so if you have any ideas. Please share with me, thank you in advance.

      @@joannabrown9577 i love this idea of themed nights, turns it into a fun thing to look forward to! a bit of advice if you're thinking about incorporating more plant-based dishes into your rotation: try to make sure to include enough fat + protein in your meals so you get full enough and satisfied! might i suggest squashé saturday?? i share the recipe in my video called "what we eat in a week" but it's so flexible, you can basically throw in whatever you want and it'll somehow taste good! thank you so much for watching and for your good questions

    I'm so sad because the nearest grocery store from where I live is a 20 min walk and my bicycle doesn't work and the public transport doesn't even seem to go towards that grocery store. I can walk of course and I do sometimes. I just don't find that many options either at that grocery store.. And I'm sad because in Sweden, all sweet potatoes are from USA or Egypt 🥲 I just want some damn sweet potato 🙃 and there are no fairtrade bananas in my towns grocery stores. 😭

    Anyone from West Virginia_(near Charleston) can answer this...Where is the best place in West Virginia to shop for Organic Food (besides the Health Market). We just moved from southern Minnesota and we had a CO-OP there, so yeah, we were spoiled. 😭
