Sad that she never got to eat real food while visiting. There is crap
available but so is real food.

The bread I buy has no sugar and no preservatives. Some meat is
injected, but good meat is readily available.

Fresh fruit and veggies are not expensive in season. It is expensive
when we want peaches in January that has been flown in from South
America. Most of that stuff has poor taste adn texture too.
