Sorry, that was another person I was talking to. And yes, junk food is expensive. Too bad it can be literally the only option sometimes. But I guess those people are too poor to matter.
Again, if you live in “fucking America” and the nearest supermarket is 10 miles away and you work 3 jobs and have no good access to transportation, it sure as hell is your only option.
“The distance to the nearest supermarket or supercenter for the average U.S. household was 2.14 miles and that average household primarily shopped at a store 3.79 miles from home.3 aug 2015”
“The researchers found that in 2015, the median distance to the nearest food store for the overall U.S. population was 0.9 miles, with 40 percent of the U.S. population living more than 1 mile from a food store. The median distance to the third-nearest food store for the overall population was 1.7 miles.3 jun 2019

" ‘far’ is defined as more than one mile for urban locations and more than 10 miles in rural spots."
Not having access to food is quite rare for the average American, most of the ones there are are in bumfuck nowhere.
You have no idea what a food desert is like, and seem to think everyone can afford to just catch a bus across town or pay for Amazon Prime for free delivery (and oh the irony, screeching about “crime” then expecting people working multiple jobs to just get delivery, like those wouldn’t get stolen in your crime world - guess those all those criminals running rampant through grocery stores would leave packages sitting by a doorstep be, eh? 🙄)

Do you not know what those things mean?
Oh, well then let’s let the rare ones starve to death. They’re “bums” anyway.
Good idea, survival of the fittest existed for a reason. Maybe stop pretending like anyone in America is starving to death.
They don’t have to be starving to death for it to be a huge problem. I doubt you’ll read this, but I’ll leave it for others: https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/food-insecurity
0.37 in every 1000 dealing with food insecurity starve. Those are great numbers.
Oh, well those people clearly don’t matter. They deserve it. Even the children. Right?
You have no idea at all.
For every 1000 dealing with food insecurity about 0.37 die. Whats your point?
I am begging you to actually read up on food deserts.
I’m not begging you for shit, I’d advise you to get out of the victim mentality though.

You just made up a completely imaginary issue to combat an argument. Done with you, have a good day lmao.
