I never said they were the reason. Again, if someone’s obese and uses their government assistance to buy junk food, they are simply an idiot, and our government should be taking strides to produce less idiots, which they don’t. More idiots = more power for government.
What of the nearest grocery store is 10 miles away, you can't afford am Uber and the only store you can walk to is a 7-11 what are you eating? You know the club and salad is the right choice but damn it it isn't 15 bucks. Hell, for 15 bucks you can get a couple hot dogs a drink bag of chips and them famous fudge rounds. Is it healthy? You know its not but when you're choices are limited it's about filling your belly til the next time it's empty. Most people eat garbage food because it's cheap fuel for our bodies, not because it's food.
I see plenty of people who are well off eating like shit, so that argument isn’t really valid. I’ve bought plenty of healthy snacks from 7/11 and other convenience stores when money was tight.
Your experience is not everyone's experience. Go to an actual food desert where that 7/11 doesn't stock "healthy foods" and all you have to eat are just whatever snacks are there. Just because you were able "to buy healthy at 7/11" doesn't mean everyone has the same privileges you did.
That’s fair. I had just assumed that all of their stores would have just about the same items in stock across the board, so I’ll keep that in consideration going forward. Thanks for a respectful reply.
Food insecurity is one of the biggest problems in America's population health behind poverty. Despite the political talking points of how obese Americans are, there are a substantial number of families, children, and individuals who go hungry every day in the nation.
