Re:  Ward - we've had the food deserts chat before.   Nothing stuck.   

Good governance is what you do when families are eating junk and it's setting them up for lifelong ill health... instead of twiddling your thumbs and waiting for everyone to become educated,  informed,  and in reach of a supermarket with healthy selections.  Funny no one questions regulations that protect your skull from shattering in a car,  but try to keep a pancreas from shattering and suddenly it's tyranny.   

Diabetes rates aren't high due to heredity but primarily due to stuff like "nutrition bars" that are mostly sugars and simple carbs.   Nobody's genes are designed for what's in a quick mart in a food desert.   For 99% of our evolutionary history, we didn't even eat grains,  let alone highly processed ones with most of the fiber removed.    We're built to eat roots,  shoots,  fruits,  nuts,  eggs,  fish,  game....hunter/gatherer stuff.

Quik Marts are not places Americans shop for food.

Fixed it for you. You never have had much insight into the lives of others.

You could look it up. But then you’d have nothing to say.

You could look it up, Ward, but you would never report back what you found, just as you ignore the evidence about the incidence and growth of diabetes in this country.

Okey Dokey Junior.
You look it up.
Oh wait. I see you already have.

I live in DC and my area is a food desert.

However, I have a car and since the pandemic we use Instacart.

I’m extremely fortunate and I know it.

The USDA defines “food deserts” as places where residents must travel more than a mile (1.6 km) to reach a supermarket. It’s estimated that approximately 23.5 million Americans live in such neighborhoods.
 
Simon said the nearest grocery store to her home is a Walmart about three kilometers away. But just because there isn’t a grocery store nearby doesn’t mean her neighborhood is void of food.
 
“We have a Rally’s, a McDonald’s, a [Raising] Cane’s,” Simon said, listing her neighborhood’s unhealthy fast food options, “a Taco Bell, a Wendy’s -- pretty much every chain you can imagine - and, of course, plenty of corner stores.”
 
She said she often craves a fresh salad rather than sugary or greasy foods. “But you can’t really get that around here.”

A bit of perspective on food deserts and the proliferation of Dollar stores....

Classy move:

JULIE ERTZ today stood for the national anthem prior to the NWSL Challenge Cup Final

Ertz had knelt for the anthem prior to the 6 other games

(Teammate Rachel Hill had been the lone Red Star player to stand - previously.)

You understand this isn't really important, don't you? Who stands, who sits, who kneels, who does whatever? It's just a distraction from the real issues---

Thought you were smarter than this.

Don't be so easily duped.

We know from decades of of unregulated business practices what they will do in the absence of governmental oversight. They'll pollute the environment, cut corners regarding worker safety, collude to limit competition, and adopt predatory pricing practices to maximize firm profitability. And in the end they wish they were sensibly regulated as their desire to be unregulated usually ends in a financial crisis, where the want goverment to bail them out of their greed and stupidity.

Business can not regulate itself adequately. They need outside  impartial regulators.

Red does not like regulations.

Red is ignorant

Ward says "I won't look it up."

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/05/convenience-stores-see-record-sales-as-shoppers-buy-more-fresh-food.html

People, specifically millennials, want to keep fewer foods in their pantry and are buying more prepared foods on the go from convenience stores.

Convenience stores experienced a 16th straight year of record in-store sales in 2018, according to the National Association of Convenience Stores.
...
In fact, the amount of fruits and vegetables sold in the convenience stores has grown to be roughly the same as popcorn or pretzels.

Bucking past trends, produce sales in convenient stores are now about $242 million per year, according to Jeff Lenard, vice president of strategic industry initiatives at the National Association of Convenience Stores. While this is still a fraction of the $61 billion in produce sold at grocery and big box stores annually, it demonstrates new opportunities for convenience store operators.

11% of convenience store shoppers go for meal prep.

When you say "Quik Marts are not places Americans shop for food," you must mean those 11% are not true Americans, right?

"The on the go, digitally connected younger generation is driving the trend for increased visits to convenience stores. They make frequent trips to smaller stores to get just the food they need for the next couple of days."


My favorite line came from Mapquest, which had this to say about Quik Marts:

Quik Mart is a chain of more than 25 continence stores that offer a range of grocery and gift items.
