    Tell us that this McIntosh never saw a grocery shop from the inside without saying this literally.

    David M McIntosh: yessssss when my personal shopper drives directly to the market to get food, then delivers them to my butler, who hands them off to my complement of personal chefs. I assure you therey’re nothing but the finest shade of yellow.

    Those look like guineo or they could be plantains as well OR it could be really, really fresh bananas 🤷‍♀️. Nonetheless, this just proves that conservative republicans are ignant’ assholes.

      The male hooker he engages at least twice a week has more of a curve than that banana. Its why hes a return customer, really crashes into his prostate like a semi-truck hitting a chihuahua

    That shithead has never once been in a grocery store or had to buy his own food. Shows how out of touch he is. Fuck off with that shit.

    Personally I get the green nanners since they’ll last longer.

      The yellow ones will make the green ones yellow faster as long as you keep them together.

    Do Americans not know how fruits work or is it just the Epstein class that doesn’t?

      It’s the rich fucks who have never done their own shopping that didn’t understand how shit works.

      Like how the pedo in chief thinks you need an id to buy groceries (he’s said this multiple times while trying to push for draconian voter id laws)

        It’s entirely possible that they know what bananas look like unpeeled, and they know what the inside of a banana looks like on a plate, but they’ve never seen for themselves how bananas move from one phase to the other.

            They are so far removed from a concrete reality that they’ve never seen a banana ripen. To the wealthy, all green bananas are bad and gross. The yellow bananas are good, and those are the ones people bring you when you pay them money for a banana, or the ones you see in your wealthy spaces.

            For example, a wealthy person who has a fruit bowl on the counter will also have someone who changes the fruit out every day for fruit that is perfectly ripe that day. They may not even know fruit ages until they are well into adulthood and find out accidentally.

      Yeah man, Americans only know hamburgers and corn. Everyone carries a gun and no one can read so fruit is a mystery. You definitely have the right idea about this place.

      Stuff like this makes me feel good because it shows that we’re not the only country where people are passively brainwashed by the media lol

      Yes. We know. The idiot that said the thing probably knows too.

      It’s a sound bite to make Mamdani seem like he’s pushing bad food. That’s it.

      I’m not sure if there’s been a good enough study on general “food literacy” to really know but I’d love to see one. Anecdotal so this is fairly worthless info: When I was a teen working at a pizza shop the amount of new hires that rolled through over the years that couldn’t recognize some/many of the toppings on sight was alarming to me. I don’t know how widespread that scenario is. I figure, at least some kids grow up completely ignorant of what the raw ingredients look like for any food they eat.

    I thought this was satire but looked up mr. macintosh and it’s real. Dude, are you on death’s door? No time to wait for the bananas to get ripe?

    To be fair - If they are platanos - I wouldn’t buy such green plantains because those fuckers are green, green, green for weeks then yellow but not ready and I forget about them and miss the one day they are ripe.

      My first rule is if they’re conservative, take it with a grain of salt.

      If they’re a white conservative, less of that.

      If they’re a old white conservative, of fuck off. No opinion of theirs is valid.

      You just described avocados except on a longer time scale. Avocados are a like “Sike! I was ripe at 12:56 pm and it is now 12:59 pm. I now no longer ripe.”

      Depends on what you’re making with them, but for maduros I agree. Gotta get them when they’re spotted brown.

        Yes, I like them in the Cuban style, almost overripe, fried in butter, then a little salt. So delicious. Luckily the stores around here do put out both green and ripe platanos.

      That’s the problem with that party. They believe the government doesn’t work so they’re trying to prove it.
