DANIELLE MEYER

What should we eat?

A nutrition professional explains

BY WENDY GUILD SWEARINGEN Danielle Meyer, MS RD CSO CDN Photo by Stephen Gabris

N

utrition advice seems to change week to week. The truth is, there is no one diet that’s perfect for everyone. If you’re looking for a diet (meaning the foods that you eat, not a weight loss plan) for optimum health, it’s best to visit a nutritionist or dietitian.

Danielle Meyer is a registered dietitian, board certified specialist in oncology nutrition, and the Clinical Director of the Dietetic Internship Program in the Department of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at the University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions. Meyer grew up in Cincinnati, completed her undergrad at Florida State, then went to Maine for her master’s degree and internship. When her husband joined the service, they moved around from South Dakota, Virginia, and Colorado before settling in Buffalo in July of 2018. “And I’m happy that we did,” she says. We spoke to Meyer to get the skinny on what we should be eating and why.

At the gym, I was told to eat a ton of protein. Then I hear vegan or keto is best. So what should we eat?

We can talk about broad topics, but then individualize to specific people’s needs. The big, broad umbrella is eat a variety of foods! Eat colorful foods.

Don’t exclude entire food groups nor focus on one particular food group.

A big variety in your diet is the best thing you can do.

However, then we look at a person and see that they need special considerations. That is the tricky part, where you run into all the noise on the internet. Oh, you’re gonna work out? Must have protein. We, as a Western diet, heavy meat-eating society, do not have a problem with our protein intake. If you’re not a vegetarian or a vegan, chances are you are perfectly fine and probably getting a little bit extra. If you’re a high endurance, high performing athlete, yeah, you’ll probably need a little bit more. For the casual gym goer, you don’t actually need any extra.

The target’s always changing; it’s always moving. I think one of the beautiful things about food science is that it’s an organic science.

Shrimp and eggs used to be bad for you. They’re not bad for you.

They’re high cholesterol, but that’s not a problem.

I trained in what I call the “moderation generation.” I think there are no “bad” foods. There are better foods than others. But there isn’t any that’s inherently terrible or bad. Life without ice cream is not worth living. At the same time, should you eat an entire pint of ice cream? Well, no. Everyone also knows that. That’s why sometimes people get a little disheartened talking to a dietician. I’m probably not going to tell you anything you don’t already know. So the problems with weight loss or changing your habits—maybe they’re coming from somewhere else, not actually

ARTICLES

FOREVER YOUNG the food that you’re eating. Maybe it’s the behaviors that we need to talk about.

What do we use food for? It’s such a core part of our society.

How do we balance all of that?

For years, we were told not to eat fat. It’s hard to overcome that mindset.

I would say low fat is good, no fat is bad. The other thing that trips people up is if you choose a food that says on the package “fat free,” the way food science and chemistry and all that works is that if you’re going to take something out of a product, you have to put something back in.

Fat and sugar make things taste good. If you take out fat or sugar, you end up replacing one with the other. Remember Snackwells? The green package? Those were great because they were low-fat cookies.

But a cookie is still a cookie. A gluten-free cookie is still a cookie.

It doesn’t make them inherently healthier.

Are there any fads that are worrisome to you?

We teach future dieticians, and I teach undergrad nutrition classes, and one thing I focus on are “red flags.” Which is any type of exclusion of a food group or any type of hyper focus on a food group. Keto is really big on high fat and high protein. Paleo was all protein and low to no carbs.

Any time you have these kinds of extremes, that should make your radar go off.

Intermittent fasting is really popular right now. It’s interesting, because it doesn’t restrict calories, but it restricts time. And we don’t equate that as being equal, and I think they are. Any time something is going to put a big restriction on you, or any kind of rule, then maybe we should take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve seen ranges from 1,200 to 3,000 for daily recommended calories. That’s confusing for a lot of people.

It is. Especially if you look at a food label, you’ll see wording like “percentages based on a 2,000 calorie diet.” Not everyone should have 2,000 calories. They just need a nice, round number to make percentages look nice and round.

[Caloric needs] are unique to everyone. Dietitians and nutrition professionals can help you figure out what range is best for you.

There’s also this technique—I call it the “dirty math”—where if you want to know about how many calories you need to maintain where you are, you take your weight and add a zero. So, if someone is 150 pounds, and you tack on a zero, you’ll need around 1,500 calories to maintain where you are. Then you add or subtract a little bit to lead to weight loss.

As our life and lifestyle changes, the things that worked for you when

A CO M M U N I T Y O F C A R I N G

you were twenty-five are not going to work when you are fifty-five.

We get really frustrated and say, “this worked before.” Well, yeah, but are you the you from before?

Probably not. Having the right kind of professionals out there can help you navigate that.

What nutrition info do you wish everybody knew?

There isn’t one best diet for everybody, so you need to find what works for you. If you don’t know what that is, there are people out there to help you figure that out.

And it’s not the person at the gym or the clerk at the GNC counter or the Instagram influencer. Your doctor can help you or point you in the right direction. The thing about Buffalo that is really awesome is you have three major institutions here—UB, D’Youville, and Buffalo State—that are pumping out dietitians like it’s their job, because it is.

Where can we find a dietitian?

You can go to eatright.org, which is the organization of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. That’s how people find me really often.

Or ask around; everybody here in Buffalo knows everybody. We’re in doctors’ offices, community health centers, at the Y—wherever there’s a health facility. FY Wendy Guild Swearingen is editor of Forever Young and senior editor of Buffalo Spree magazine.

A NATIVE PLANT TASK FORCE

Gardening as though our lives depend on it

BY SALLY CUNNINGHAM

Goldenrod (solidago) is a great late-blooming native with many manageable varieties.

T

he Western New York Native Plants Collaborative brings together government entities, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and the green industry around the same goal: healing the Western New York ecosystem.

Co-founded by two longtime leaders of the local environmental/conservation movement, landscape architect Linda

Schneekloth and native plant expert/ educator Ken Parker, the NPC has the following goals: • Restoration of the unique ecology of natural areas, the value of each place recognized not only for the pollinators and songbirds, but for its uniqueness.

• A new definition of what front and back yard landscapes can be, to include less lawn (with ecologically sound management where lawn is desired), layered plantings, hedgerows with native plants between properties, and pollinator plants and edible landscapes in front of homes.

• Public understanding that the current status quo is unsustainable, including the sprawl of sterile, ecologically valueless housing developments and the degradation of wetlands.

Expert voices for change Schneekloth

and

Parker

are

working with a diverse group of other environmental advocates, who also have well-defined views on what the local ecological landscape is and what it should be. For example, Paul Fuhrmann, a habitat restoration specialist long associated with Ecology and Environment Inc., has provided leadership across many organizations and projects. He cites positive examples of urban habitat restoration using native plants in Tifft Nature Preserve, Forest Lawn Cemetery, Times Beach, Seneca Bluffs, and parts of the Outer Harbor, but adds that there’s a long way to go to restore damage and recoup losses: “This is where municipalities and private landowners can make a difference. There is no land area too small to have positive ecological impacts. Backyards, lawn aprons along roadways, vacant lots can all support native plants.”

Another NPC member, Joshua Konovitz works on restoration

projects for Applied Ecological Services. He comments, “One of the most disturbing tendencies I see is the homogenization of the urban environment, manifested today as the landscape aesthetic of manicured lawns and pristine perennials that are typically undisturbed by wildlife of any kind (meaning that they are not involved in the life cycle of any organism, and contribute nothing to the ecological function of the landscape). Native plants are considered undesirable weeds and are removed in favor of 'exotic' plants that are to be found in the garden of any house of a similar climate, worldwide.

Naturalist and Spree columnist Gerry Rising regrets that movement toward action on behalf of habitat has been so slow in coming: “Until recently only professional botanists—and in fact not many of them—have understood the important role that native plants

FOREVER YOUNG play in support of our environment. And it’s not just plants that are native to our region, but also plants that are native to specific local environmental niches. While a native tree hosts a wide range of fauna and flora, an introduced species often stands starkly alone. That may seem at first attractive to farmers and gardeners—‘none of them damned bugs!’—but most of those insects support such necessary activities as pollination. And the insects require the native plants, the plants with which they’ve co-evolved.”

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. —E. O. Wilson How to get there Parker was formerly the largest native plants grower in Canada. He stresses the crucial need for plants with local provenance, for many reasons. As he explains, some pollinator or bird depends upon a flower, fruit, or seed at a very specific time. But the native shrub cultivar (often called nativar) or the same shrub species that was grown in Ohio may produce a flower that opens too early or too late to do its job. Or the “improved” flower or fruit is too big or too closed or the wrong color to serve its natural purposes. Provenance counts.

Restoration projects in the region, such as the Niagara Gorge Findlay site, a WNY Land Conservancy project, already have nurseries producing plants to order. For Findlay, a couple of nearby nurseries are producing 15,000 plugs of forty-three locally collected North American native species. Other growers are producing seed from six locally collected native species. But it’s not enough. More growers are needed for more restoration projects, and more growers and individuals will be needed to grow native plant species—especially as the customers request those. Rising observes that until recently it was difficult for anybody seeking native plants to find them: “Helping garden suppliers to identify, advertise, and sell those plants to their customers is, I think, one of the most important goals of the Native Plants Collaborative.” FY Sally Cunningham is a Certified Nursery & Landscape Professional and author of Buffalo Style Gardens.

AN AUTUMN HIKE— THE NATIVE PLANTS YOU’LL SEE Looking forward to fall, native plant geeks pick their favorite fall hikes: Gerry Rising: “My favorite fall plants are arguably the most common: asters and goldenrods. While others are looking up at the electrifying maples, I am more attracted to the shades of gold and blue or purple that adorn our fields, often together. That these simple ‘weeds’ should provide so much beauty I find deeply satisfying.”

Lyn Chimera grows and shows visitors hundreds of native plants during Open Gardens every July.

Among less widely known plants she notes, “Look for the White Snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum). It is typically at the edge of a woods, in masses.”

Ken Parker reminds hikers to look at the berrying shrubs and up to the trees: Serviceberry leaves have turned shades of yellow and orange. Wild grapevines and red-leaved Virginia Creepers are climbing high.

Staghorn and Fragrant Sumacs are offering bright and nutritious scarlet drupes.

My own favorite native perennial is New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis), in part because I have encouraged many clumps to spread from one plant (now eight feet tall) that I bought twenty years ago.

Take a walk. Try to identify native from nonnative plants and notice what the birds and insects are using.

NATURAL STRATEGIES FOR PAIN RELIEF

BY CATHERINE STACK

Turmeric root is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties.

H

ow many people do you know who are taking ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, etc.) on a regular basis? Although this is one of the best over-the-counter pain relievers, regular use will ultimately result in stomach issues such as ulcers and erosions. Even worse are the prescribed narcotics that over time trick you into thinking you still need them and constipating the bejesus out of you—which, in itself, is horribly painful.

Addiction issues are more prevalent than anyone thinks. This is a sad state of affairs in our society.

For those of you who suffer from joint pain, fibromyalgia, back pain, and bulging discs, we must look at what is going into that mouth of yours. Sugar and foods that easily convert to sugar (high-glycemic) cause inflammation. Foods that aggravate inflammatory conditions include gluten, grains, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, artificial flavors and sweeteners. INFLAMMATION=PAIN. So, for ninety percent of us, food is the cause as well as the remedy.

Sugar is as addicting as heroin. We crave it, we ache for it, and, ultimately, it will take us out. The first warning sign is that we are overweight. Then it’s all downhill from there.

For those of you who are working at cleaning up your diet, taking a walk or bike ride every now and then, but are still suffering from chronic pain and would like some relief that

doesn’t have harmful or addicting side effects, listen up. These are some of the best remedies for chronic aches and pains.

Diet I always start here, because you cannot out-supplement the foods you put in your mouth. My favorite anti-inflammatory foods include wild blueberries, asparagus, spinach, cilantro (heavy metal detox), avocado, coconut oil, garlic, ginger, leafy greens, lemons and limes, fennel, celery, flax seed, walnuts, and pineapple. This is just a very condensed list.

Magnesium Magnesium is one of the best pain remedies for muscle pain and cramping. Low back pain, which is most commonly related to chronic and unknown constipation, is relieved with the help of this multitasking mineral. There are many types of magnesium, so the dosage varies.

For the constipated individual, take more than the recommended dose, and citrate works best. The worst that will happen is a healthy poop. Most people feel great after they empty their colon. Magnesium glycinate works best for back pain, muscle pain, and Restless Leg Syndrome.

Bromelain Bromelain’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a great natural replacement for harmful medications like aspirin. Recently, the Journal of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine published a research trial that evaluated fortytwo osteoarthritis patients with degenerative spine or painful joint conditions. Two 650 mg capsules of bromelain were given to the patients two to three times each day on an empty stomach (depending on whether they had acute or chronic pain) and it was discovered that pain decreased up to sixty percent for

acute situations and more than fifty percent for chronic disorders.

Arnica is a homeopathic remedy that is best used for acute pain and injury such as that from bumps, bruising, or sprains. It can be taken orally in pellet form or, even better, as a topical cream or tincture applied directly to the injured (not open wound) area. Arnica has an excellent reputation for accelerating the healing process.

Turmeric

Capsaicin

Capsaicin can be found in all types of hot peppers

The healing power of turmeric comes from its active ingredient– curcumin—which lowers the levels of two enzymes in the body that cause inflammation. In one of many studies, participants with osteoarthritis who took a concentrated form of curcumin had minor signs or symptoms of the disease. At the end of ninety days, they had a fiftyeight percent decrease in pain and stiffness and improved physical function and mobility.

New research suggests that turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and also helps to improve circulation and prevent blood clotting.

You can reap the benefits of turmeric by seasoning your foods

Capsaicin is what gives hot peppers their heat. It manipulates the body’s pain status by hindering pain perception, triggering the release of pain-relieving endorphins, and providing analgesic action. Commercial capsaicin-containing creams such as Zostrix, Heet, and Capzasin-P are used topically for arthritis and nerve pain. Creams containing .025 percent capsaicin can significantly reduce osteoarthritis pain when applied to joints four times daily. When using topical capsaicin products, be sure to avoid touching your eyes and other sensitive areas such as genitals.

Devil’s claw Devil’s claw is a South African herb with medicinally active roots. This

herb eases muscular tension or pain in the back, shoulders, and neck. A popular treatment for osteoarthritic pain, it may ease rheumatoid arthritis pain as well. Devil’s claw extract is considered safe at the typical dosage of 750 mg (containing 3 percent iridoid glycosides) taken three times daily. It is also available as tincture (use one teaspoon up to three times daily) and tea. It should not be taken with blood-thinning medications and may not be safe during pregnancy or for young children, nursing mothers, and individuals with liver or kidney disease, or digestive system ulcers.

Most of these remedies will have you feeling a bit better in one to six weeks of continued use but, unlike ibuprofen, Tylenol, and narcotics, they actually have healing and protective properties. Not to be ignored are also the many tried and true benefits of the healing arts. Massage, acupuncture, cold laser therapy, chiropractic care, meditation, and yoga are all extremely effective tools when it comes to eliminating painful conditions. My best advice is to try what you are intuitively drawn to. FY Catherine (Cathi) Stack is owner, facilitator and Doctor of Naturopathy at Journey II Health, LLC in Niagara Falls.

DRIVE THE GREAT LAKES SEAWAY TRAIL

BY CHRISTINE A. SMYCZYNSKI Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse at Golden Hill State Park overlooks Lake Ontario Photo by Nick Vitello

T

raveling long distances in these uncertain times can be challenging. Fortunately, our region boasts many beautiful places that are perfect for scenic drives and day trips. To see charming towns with picturesque venues, check out parts of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail (seawaytrail.com), a 518-mile scenic byway that extends from Western Pennsylvania along Lake Erie, then to the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, and up the St. Lawrence River.

Here we explore the portion from the Niagara River in Youngstown to Chimney Bluffs, just past the Rochester area. Drive time without stopping would be about two and a half hours one way; if you make several stops allow more time or turn this drive into several day trips.

Before heading out, double-check that places are open and their current hours of operation.

Start your journey along Lake Ontario at Fort Niagara State Park in Youngstown, where you can visit Old Fort Niagara (oldfortniagara. org), a National Historic Landmark preserved as it stood in the eighteenth century. Allow several hours if you decide to visit the Fort.

The journey continues along Route 18 toward Wilson where you’ll find

Wilson-Tuscarora State Park, a 400 acre park with picnic areas, hiking trails, and a beach. Then check out views of Lake Ontario and the harbor from the nearby Wilson Pier.

Your next stop along the trail is the quaint community of Olcott Beach; many boutique gift shops—quirky to elegant—line the boardwalk along the Lake Ontario Shore in Lakeside Village Fair and are open daily. If you enjoy wine, be sure to stop at Marjim Manor (marjimmanor.com) a charming winery located in an 1853 mansion just east of Olcott on Route 18. Nearby, you can sample a variety of ciders at BlackBird Ciderworks (blackbirdciders.com), on Lower Lake Road in Barker. (To get there head north on Hartland Road from Route 18.)

Another state park along the way is Golden Hill State Park, home to the 1875 Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse, which is open for

FOREVER YOUNG small group tours on weekends.

As you continue east, you’ll come across the Lyndonville “Shoe Tree” (Lakeshore and Foss Roads), where hundreds of shoes are hung from its branches. According to legend, if you make a wish while throwing a pair of shoes up into the tree and they catch, your wish will come true.

Once you pass Lakeside Beach State Park, start looking for signs for Lake Ontario State Parkway, a thirtyfive-mile scenic parkway that follows Lake Ontario through Orleans and Monroe Counties. exit the parkway at Route 98 and head north to Point Breeze to see a replica of an earlier lighthouse built here.

Continuing east on the parkway, you’ll find Braddock Bay Wildlife Management area, a popular place to view waterfowl. The next mustsee attraction is Ontario Beach Park, which is said to have the best natural sand beach in the Great Lakes region. The park has a very long fishing pier to stroll on and a 1905 Dentzel carousel. Nearby, the Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse overlooks the Genesee River and the Port of Rochester. Built in 1821, it is the second oldest lighthouse in the region. They hope to be open for tours this summer; check their website for current information (geneseelighthouse.org).

Cross over the Genesee River

on the Stutson Bridge to get to Lakeshore Boulevard and drive through Durand Eastman Park.

Soon you will be at Culver Road and Seabreeze Amusement Park, the fourth oldest amusement park in the country. Check their website (seabreeze.com) for operating hours.

Continuing east, cross Irondequoit Bay on Route 104, to Bay Road to Lake Road to continue your drive along the lake. When you get to the village of Sodus Point, check out the view of the lake from the grounds of the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum.

Unfortunately, the museum is closed for the season due to the pandemic but put it on your bucket list.

The final attraction on this drive is Chimney Bluffs State Park in Wolcott (from Sodus Point take Route 14 south to Ridge Road; head east to Lake Bluff Road, then head north on Lake Bluff Road to the park). The centerpiece of this park is the massive bluffs along the lake. There are several hiking trails through the park and one along the bluffs, which is right on the edge of a steep cliff, so use extreme caution when hiking this trail. There is an additional trail along the lakeshore at the base of the bluffs. FY Christine Smyczynski is the author of Explorers Guide Buffalo Niagara Falls and Backroads & Byways of Upstate New York.

In Western Pennsylvania and Chautauqua County New York, you can visit numerous wineries in Lake Erie Wine Country (lakeeriewinecountry.org) on this fifty-mile wine trail.

The eastern portion of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail goes through the Thousand Islands region.

Attractions include the Antique Boating Museum in Clayton, New York (abm.org), with boats displayed in over 29,000 feet of exhibit space.

Boldt Castle (boldtcastle.com) on Heart Island in Alexandria Bay was built in the early 1900s by millionaire George Boldt. It is open for tours.

A CELEBRATION OF THRIFTING

When shopping becomes philanthropy

BY DEREK SMITH

T

he pandemic, our federal government’s response, the current economy calamity, and mass demonstrations in response to racial injustice may have woken us from civic slumber. Unfortunately, the mere mention of civic duty conjures lessons from dusty textbooks about the monotony required to keep our democracy intact. What if there’s a way to contribute to the greater good without the tedium and messy sacrifice?

It’s heartening to know that you can support veterans, donate to charity, reduce poverty, and save the earth even while gratifying an insatiable lust for consumption.

Just go thrifting—and not at pricy, trendy “vintage boutiques,” but at cold, gritty “Salvos” (Salvation Army stores) and Goodwills.

You know the type. Step into the warehouse and hear the echo of metal hangers screeching across clothing racks. A stuffy, musty odor hangs in the air. And the stores always pipe in seventies and eighties music to hum along with while shopping.

An elderly woman nudges her cart full of glassware and trinkets along the wall. An eccentric hipster

rummages for the perfect wornin jacket. A scraggly, bearded man, down on his luck, searches for a winter coat before the snow begins to fly. A mom with kids is not ashamed to be school shopping.

A curious fellow flips through the books. This is an Amvets, Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Savers.

At least one of each sits along a main thoroughfare in the city of Buffalo and most surrounding suburbs. A Google Maps search returns two Goodwills in Buffalo, and one in each of these towns and villages: West Seneca, Hamburg, Williamsville, Orchard Park, Cheektowaga, and Tonawanda.

There’s an Amvets tucked behind a Valu Home Center in a plaza on

Delaware, one in West Seneca, and another in Depew. Buffalo boasts two Salvation Army locations; there are two more in Amherst and Williamsville, respectively. Savers— slightly more selective—has spots on Eggert Road in Tonawanda and next to the McKinley Mall in Hamburg.

These stores are like treasure chests sunken beneath the sea of cheap, mass-market retail. If you’re in the mood to dig, you’ll never leave without getting something special in return for a modest expenditure.

The wily, scrupulous thrifter might furnish a house, stock a handsome wardrobe, and pass for an eclectic snob.

Like all worthy things in life,

FOREVER YOUNG

There are always treasures to be found in thrift stores, if you’re willing to take the time to explore. Photos by kc kratt

thrifting is not so much about the end result as it is about the climb, the process, the journey. The thrill of the hunt, as it were. Shuffling through old clothing and inspecting bizarre appliances is enough of a pleasant sensory activity that it almost doesn’t matter if you leave

with something you’ll actually use.

The classic literature, dictionaries, and Bibles that allegedly form the basis of human understanding go for $2 a pop. How democratic that those tomes are sold alongside dozens of “self-help” books for the same price. This inclusivity and

paradox are what makes thrifting such an adventure. You might find a valuable antique in the same heap as the rubber largemouth bass wall mount that sings “Thank God

Amvets, Salvation Army, and Goodwill are all classified as 501(c)3 non-profit charities who do good work in the communities that they serve.

I’m a Country Boy.” As I write this, my keister is planted in a recliner I purchased from the West Seneca Amvets that only set me back $20, after “rounding up to support the vets” at the cashiers’ suggestion.

You’ll feel like a sucker when you discover the blender doesn’t work and a thief when you discover an unblemished pair of shoes for eight dollars that retail for two hundred.

Having found ourselves at the receiving end of a year-long barrage of some pretty dismal news, we could be forgiven for letting the impending climate catastrophe slip our minds. Besides the financial benefit of buying secondhand goods during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, thrifting is good for the earth.

The fast fashion industry is an environmental abomination. In practice, it is little more than a racket designed to fatten CEOs and

marketing men to the destruction of our natural world and the couple threads of individuality that remain after a few generations of crazed consumerism.

Alas!

Clothes from places like H&M, Old Navy, and Forever 21 are designed, constructed, and advertised precisely to fall out of fashion or disintegrate by the next season, whichever comes first.

When you buy secondhand, you’re recycling every item you take a chance on. When you decide you don’t like it, you bring it back in a trash bag full of outgrown jeans.

You’ve recycled again.

Clothing that was union-made in the USA with natural materials like cotton, wool, or denim is built to last forever and gets better with each wear. You don’t find that stuff at the mall or (god forbid) Amazon. Thrift stores are filled with such garments for the same or less than you’d

spend on some synthetic blend rag that a teenager glued together in a developing country in the thirteenth hour of his shift.

Readers of Buffalo Spree know about the deep, interwoven communal implications of consumerism. When you buy a burger from a local restaurant you read about here, even if you spend a few extra dollars, that money is going to support people who live and work in Western New York.

The same goes for consignment goods. Shopping at a local thrift store is an act of civic prudence.

Amvets, Salvation Army, and Goodwill are all classified as 501(c)3 charities who do good work in the communities that they serve.

Unemployment rates in the region and the country are the highest they’ve been in a generation.

Goodwill’s mission is to “prepare for, find, and keep jobs in Western New York for people with barriers to employment.” The first block of text under the “About Us” tab on the Salvation Army’s website reads, “We meet human need without discrimination.” Doesn’t get more straightforward than that. And of course, we can never do enough to support veterans, and Amvets is a leader in that endeavor.

Turns out our collective, earnest engagement in the dull business of public affairs—or lack thereof—has life or death consequences. The past year of bedlam has made painfully obvious what we can and must do to preserve this fragile democracy and improve the lives of our fellow countrymen: stand against bigotry, vote, wear a mask, and be a good citizen. While those can by turns feel inconvenient, boring, or downright difficult, thrifting is anything but.
