Like 10 years ago.Can’t remember the last time I bought poke (vegetarian) but my mom wanted a half pound when I was going to drop off my son with her… when did poke start costing $18-20 a pound?!
It is.Hawaii sounds expansively expensive.
Ah bummer, you get stationed there?It is.
I moved to San Diego 3 months ago. Housing prices are kind of similar but groceries and everything else are much cheaper by at least 50%.
Everything is crazy expensive in Hawaii.

I bought a pound of poke at Kahuku Superette just now (only place with power). $21.99. I bought a bottle of tequila too, just so I could forget about it.Can’t remember the last time I bought poke (vegetarian) but my mom wanted a half pound when I was going to drop off my son with her… when did poke start costing $18-20 a pound?!
Vegetarian poke? Assuming there’s a point at all to that, it’s made with tofu?Can’t remember the last time I bought poke (vegetarian) but my mom wanted a half pound when I was going to drop off my son with her… when did poke start costing $18-20 a pound?!
Sugar: an avenging angel of the enslaved?Wow, that's a rather rosy look at history. The environmental impact of deforestation and waste products alone must have devastated local ecosystems. Ecosystems that will never return.
The Big Five took control of the Hawaiian economy including banking, warehousing, shipping, and importing. This control of commodity distribution kept Hawaiians burdened under high prices and toiling under a diminished quality of life. These businessmen had perfected the double-edged sword of a wage-earning labor force dependent upon plantation goods and services. They also worked hard to maintain a hierarchical caste system that prevented worker organization and divided the camps based on ethnic identity.
Indentured servitude is only a small step above slavery.
And why shouldn't the Big Five have taken advantage of these people, nothing was preventing them from doing so. Contrary to popular conservative belief, big business does NOT conduct itself responsibly.
And all this not to mention the devastating impact that refined sugar has on human health.
Not quite true, unfortunately.Sugar: an avenging angel of the enslaved?
Unfortunately, Sugar is an equal opportunity killer, and doesn't distinguish between the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the slaves
Race/ethnicity, family income and educational status are independently associated with intake of added sugars. Groups with low income and education are particularly vulnerable to diets with high added sugars.
You moved to San Diego?100% worth it, why are you not there for the Holidays brah
