That's true but the taste is never the same.I like shelling peas,it's very soothing.I spread an old sheet out on the floor to catch the hulls,the use them as mulch.I watch tv and shell away.You can also harvest "snaps" off the peas and use them like green beans.I really like them with a smoked ham hock but usually there are nitrates added to those

People rise out of poverty fairly regularly. It aint easy but doable.
They're not going to open businesses in neighborhoods were vandalism and armed robbery are not the exception but the norm. I don't blame them.
Sure people regularly raise themselves out of poverty, but it's much more possible with opportunities of jobs, which are lacking in the inner city.
And as far as businesses avoiding poor neighborhoods because of the crime rate - it was business that had created the situation in the first place by deserting those neighborhoods when blacks came in. They would be demonstrating genuine courage and community spirit by relocating in the inner city in order to give the people there a hand up. My friend who was the best man at my wedding runs a business in a bad neighborhood in Spokane, and guess what, he has never had any problem with crime, other than occasionally running off the random crack head. So, yes, running a business in a poor neighborhood is doable - but most businesses don't, coming up with one excuse after another to justify their prejudice.
If businesses left the inner cities it's because they were driven out by crime or lack of revenue being made in those locations.
I know the concept is alien to you but a business's first reason for being in business is to make money.
And business owners aren't going to be influenced by the very human fault of racism? Are you saying the change in complexion of the neighborhood had nothing to do with it? I suppose business people are demigods, so much better than the rest of us.

I ate hommos once. It was awful.
To be fair I did not know I was supposed to eat it with bread, I just gobbed it down on its own. It's pretty rare here, I think they are now selling it because of immigrants from the Mediterranean.
But why do you eat it when you don't like it?
I like it; you people just got me worried about the preservatives, yes they do have preservatives.
Frozen beans don't taste as good tho; maybe glassed products are better?

I don't think you need to be too worried about preservatives, unless you have an allergy towards them or some other adverse reaction.
Freezing seems to make starchy products worse. Potatoes that have been frozen are horrible except in the case of fries (not sure why). I think the food preservation of canned and glassed products is about the same: sometimes they add preservatives, sometimes they don't. I have cans/jars of beans and pea soup and red cabbage that contain no preservatives and can be kept for years if left unopened. They even found canned food in a 19th century shipwreck and it was still fine.
Those pictures of food you posted, the only thing I recognize are the fries and something that looks like a salad. No idea what all the other stuff is. One of the worst things over here is kapsalon, which is fries + shoarma + lettuce + cheese + garlic sauce, all that put in the oven. Everything gets soggy and horrible. I had one once, couldn't finish it because it was just too much.

I found a nice picture of kapsalon (which means hair desser salon because someone over there asked for this combination first) with translation:
- Lots of garlic sauce
- Lukewarm and old lettuce
- Lots of shoarma
- Wet and soggy fries
- King-size tray
