Since 1977 the US federal government has had to require many grocery stores to sell produce. The margins are lower, the labor is higher, and they use a lot of grocery floor space. Without that intervention there probably wouldn’t be access to any produce at all for most Americans. Capitalism is very much the center of this story. In Europe the varieties of produce being grown are being mainly dictated by flavor and taste, in the USA resistance to insects, cheaper to harvest, size of product are the main criteria when the varieties of seeds to plant are being selected.

Actually there is very much an overrepresentation of queer men in fraternities, and even more in fraternity leadership. During my undergrad I’d say about 20% of fraternity men were queer. From talking to other fraternity men across the country, that number seemed to be pretty universal. If you start looking at Executive board members that number starts to rise to probably 30-40%.

Don’t get me wrong, lots of things about fraternities are disgusting, and I am not sure they deserve to exist TBH. But they are often a refuge for awkward closeted gays.
