>>509008096 (OP)>Are people really starving in America?"Sort of".
This Anon is mostly correct:
>>509008357 >>509008471The only thing he's missing is the "human element". Most Americans don't actually know how to feed themselves and that isn't necessarily something that can change irregardless of the presence of a *grocery store. Food deserts are cyclical: the people their eat tv dinners, fast food, chips, microwaved meals, sugary drinks, candy, and cereals, they raise their children on this, and noone in the line of succession ever figures out how to cook nor develops a taste or culture for "food".
*Not for lack of trying mind you. New York State has, in the past, spent money on "government run/subsidized grocery stores" and they've not only failed, but people raised in that environment would pay MORE for junk food than a healthier alternative. This is very much a highly competative, socially engineered, "desirable" problem. You can't compete with the modern American convenience food industry.
Ultimately the byproduct of this ecosystem is, as that Anon already said; a bunch of morbidly obese malnourished people. Because despite what people might think obesity only means a caloric surplus and nothing else - a surprising number of Americans are medically deficient in Vitamin D, C, Iron, and Calcium.
