In-Depth Information
In America, we have freezers in our garages so we can buy in bulk to save money
and avoid needless trips to the supermarket. In contrast, Europeans have small re-
frigerators. It's not necessarily because they don't have room or money for a big
refrigerator. They'd actually rather go to the market in the morning. The market
visit is a chance to be out, get the freshest food, connect with people, and stay in
touch. While the popularity of supermarkets is growing, Europeans who value the
traditional fabric of their societies still willingly pay a little more for their bread
for the privilege of knowing the person who baked it.
