I need food and drinks!

Our today's topic treatened th culture of food in the U.S.

There are three types of stores in the United States of America: conservative, processed and organic food stores.
An example for a conservative store is Kroger's or Enki. It's an every day store, you can get the goods in normal packages(family size) and you can see there nearly every social group. The prices are low, the food usually comes from foreign countries like chile aso. Every kind of food has its own rack, so the market is well arranged.
In a processed store you get the goods in large packages. Examples for this stores are Jungle Jim's and METRO in Germany. This stores are also import - export - stores, which import food from almost every country of the world. In Germany, you need to be self-employed or you running a business to get access to a processed store. The prizes are higher as in a conservative store, because of the costs for import. You can see there the mid-class, that buy the goods.
The organic food markets or Farmers Markets like Pipkins are localvore-markets, that sells vegetables, fruits and other goods from Farmers, which are 100 miles around the store. This products aren't genmodified and the prices are little higher than in processed stores, but the sold products are very fresh. You' ll see there the health-conscious mid- and upper class of the society.
