WILL THE CORONAVIRUS DOOM ONE OF OREGON’S “FOUR FOOD GROUPS” TO EXTINCTION?
After moving to Eugene in January of 2017 I jokingly told friends from California (and elsewhere) that I had discovered that Oregon had “Four Official Food Groups”:
- Beer (locally brewed and served in brewpubs and sold in bottles in stores)
- Wine (a shop near my home carries 500-plus Oregon Pinot Noirs)
- Coffee (no, Seattle doesn’t “own” coffee bars that serve espresso drinks)
- Everything Else
But these days it has become, at least for some residents of Eugene, more difficult to get their RDA (“Recommended Daily Allowance) of lattes and mochas.
