It has been said the more things are banned the more people break the ban. The war on drugs ended up with more drugs. Prohibition created illegal drinking and drunkenness without limits. The war on terrorists created more terrorists. So, people need to ban farmers markets.

During prohibition, people made their own alcoholic beverages. They were unregulated and could hurt the consumer if it was made improperly. Now think of banning a good thing, like Farmers Markets. Fuquay-Varina Growers Market is open from mid April to Early September on Saturdays. Holly Spring’s Farmers Market is open year round every Saturday. Maybe this could create more farmers markets that are not just in the main towns.

Farmers markets help boost the local economy and give people access to fresh vegetables. They also create nice communication hubs where people can trust each other and work together to get good fresh food. This also can help small entrepreneurs and create more jobs.

Senior Michelle Burke said, “[Farmers markets] are usually better quality, better health, and have better labels. I find a few rarer plants there than there are at grocery stores. And if the plant happens to be more expensive it’s worth it, It’s like buying something that was hand sewn.”

Imagine banning a farmers market. People would eventually break the rules and create underground markets. A guy may walk up to you and ask ‘hey, ya wanna fresh tomato?’ and then you get some fruits that are fresher than supermarkets. They could be places underground with passwords to keep the farmers safe.

Burke said, “I’d resort to Facebook market place and find work arounds behind the ban. I would not exactly protest but I would sneak around to get good food.”

Farmers markets can also be cheaper than the stores when it comes to organic goods which makes eating healthier a lot easier. So, let’s ban farmers markets to get more farmers markets.
