Living in a remote place is a great way to not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and this is wild. Twitter user KataraPiujuq showed some of the crazy high prices for fruit and vegetables, and how it's a bit of an issue. Just seeing a bag of oranges go for 20 bucks is enough to make anyone frustrated.

We have survived for thousands of years eating sustainably. We respect the animals that gave us food. 29 27 2,138 21.9K Inuk * Katara @KataraPiujuq · 20h Please do your research before calling Inuit murderers for trying to feed themselves, survive in the frozen arctic with warm clothes, and practising our tradition.
