I have no doubt that a small town is as you describe, but this doesn't
say anything regarding the overall problem of poor nutrition for those
who are struggling.

The "convenience" store model is for, well, convenience. It's never
going to be for healthy food.

Getting a job is supposed to be easier.

$1 a day would be hard, but not $5.87 a day. In fact my under $1
rye-whole-wheat with caraway seeds loaf is putting thee aroma through
the house as I write.

Next one s going to be breakfast bread. It has cinnamon, raisins,
fruit, whole wheat flour....it is about $2.30 to make but I defy anyone
to find better.

I don't know how much more simple an egg can get, but at 20 cents or
less for an egg and so many ways too cook it...

As for fresh fruit, July, August and September we don't buy any as we
end up disposing of a lot, not sure what to do with 25 gallons of
apples, then there is the raspberries and strawberries. The later two
we freeze for the fall/winter. Lots of apple pie, strudel, apple out
the ears.

Trouble is you lazy fleabaggers never even bothered to learn how to
cook. Maybe they should put you in a cage with a placard that says
"Totally useless animal".

Most convenience stores don't have the staff to handle any variety of
fresh produce or poultry, meat, fish products. In the inner city, the
situation is even worse because there's no one to go to the large
wholesale markets or produce wholesalers willing to deliver. Most of
what the stores sell is stuff with a long shelf life.


They wouldn't anyway, Harry. that would defeat their purpose. They're
a gas station that sells beer, pizza soda and chips and a few other
things. They're not IGA or Publix.


If you want gas and beer you go to Caseys. If you want salad material
and pork chops you hit up Krogers.

It all comes down to an individuals choice. You can buy hi-fiber bran
cereal just as easy as you can get sugar pops. You can get granola
snacks just as easy as you can get Twinkies. You can afford a decent
meal at home just as easy as you can order Pizza Hut or Burger King.

Just depends on what you want.

Interesting that no matter how complex a problem might be, you've got a

Not if you live in the inner city, I have lived there, I know. You hit
up the local market weather it's Lao, Jamaican, Indian, or what have
you. Most will carry a few "American" items but you learn to live on
what they have there, or fast food around the corner..

You all are seeming to forget the segment of the population who live in
the inner city, or otherwise rely on public transportation... They are
stuck with whatever the local market sells. I have a car, I can go to
stop and shop and pay nearly 4 dollars a gallon for milk, or go to BJ's
and pay 2.59.. A lot of folks don't have that choice, and trust me as
someone who feeds an athlete I can assure you even with choice of large
chains, healthy is more expensive than **** food... In the city you
don't even have the choice...
