There are said to be people who, despite all the climate warnings and health risks, are still unreasonable when it comes to their own nutrition. Sure, such a juicy steak with a crust of fat tastes good without anything or at most with a slice of farmhouse bread and is also quick to prepare for people who are not born chefs. On the other hand, steaming a cauliflower or washing lamb’s lettuce at least three times, snipping peppers or – the absolute horror – attacking a hard pumpkin skin with a knife – these are unreasonable demands, despite all the advantages for the vitamin supply. Many stressed people therefore prefer to fill their shopping bags with things that do not make them sweat when preparing them. Although there are two grocery stores plus an organic shop and the market at the Maibaum every Friday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Oberhaching, non-cookers can also stock up on simple individual items there that require neither a recipe nor sophistication.
Mayor Stefan Schelle may have observed such carelessness during site visits and worried about the immune system of his roommates. In any case, the new Oberhaching basket has been available in the municipal office since mid-October. The gray felt basket with a stable metal frame and a small colored Oberhaching logo can be purchased for 23.50 euros. Practical, environmentally friendly and with lots of space – that’s how it’s advertised on the municipality’s website, and that’s sure to convince the people of Oberhaching. Soon everyone will be going shopping armed with this wonderful container.
You can imagine the baskets filling up as you walk along the shelves and farmer’s market stalls, so they have to be put down and suddenly the customer next door grabs them and takes them with them. It’s only when they get home that the original owner may discover that they now have to eat cauliflower or squash and the steak ends up somewhere else in the pan. But maybe that’s exactly the intention behind the uniform shopping basket. Just force the careless ones to their luck in this way with a little basket change you.
