I live in a semi-hood area that I would call a food desert since there are no grocery stores in <45 minute walking distance. However, I have a car so it's not a problem, and you could always take a bus.

I live in a food desert in a big city in the US. One of the reasons I visit this board is so that I can see pics of real food while I eat greasy garbage. It's like that scene in Hook.

There's a fried chicken place on my block complete with bulletproof glass in front of the register. I eat there probably 3-4x a week. Usually I just eat one disgusting fast food / convenience store meal per day, because if I did breakfast lunch and dinner I would be thousands of calories over my needs and would probably go broke anyway.

A "supermarket" opened here last year, it's basically just a convenience store with aisles and multiple registers. For example:

-$4 lb Pasta
-$1 ea Banana
-$6 gallon Milk
-$5 dozen Eggs

A place like that, with zero windows is a place that has been robbed soooo many times that normal people don't shop there nor own it, only the most resilient of immigrant running some phone card business or shady markedup items. Only late night drunks, people who have no cars that live in walking distance, and addicted smokers have reason to stop into a fire trap death building like that. Sometimes the town is so remote that it'll be the quick stop for people that just ran out of eggs and milk and need a new loaf of sandwich bread. For the rest of their food, they'll actually pile the family into the SUV and head to wal-mart, and stock up hundreds of dollars at a time. They will have a deep freezer at home, and likely a generator in case of power outage because they have hundreds of dollars of frozen meat and foot on hand because the gas and trip to store is so lengthy. These people that live really far from civilization have stunning mountain views, river or lake houses and wilderness, or else they actually farm their lands acres at a time, which doesn't necessarily make them brokefags or inferior food buying people.

This.

I actually drive the Tamiami Trail road through the Everglades getting coast to coast quite often. Think only National Park bathrooms, and one lone convenience store in the middle maybe not even open per the owner's whim, where you can buy the Arizona iced tea marked 99c for a $3.50. They know it's an hour in each direction for any other kind of purchase. God bless them for having any business open at all.

I think as mid-40s, I was alive during this time you speak about, and it's true. There was weight watchers and diabetic "exchanges" and heart association diets, but nutritional awareness outside of making sure you get a varied diet with nutrition including health/home economics (electives) training in schools.
Then, out of nowhere, the proverbial "food police" started making articles..
First they vilified the the coconut oil on theatre popcorn. We all know Samoans were lardasses with heart disease, and this was their oil! Trans fat was the awareness yet just that fat solid at room temp was bad.
Then, some muslims or vegan versions of the "food police" figured out the secret to McDonald's fries was a spray of beef tallow and were outraged at being tricked. Cooks understood you fried things in duck fat, and you made better german potato salad by hitting hot potatoes with beef stock or bacon grease before they cool. Reformulated, and played with a couple of more times, meanwhile BK decided to edge on the market they could never get a handle on, but reformulating their fries to be like McDonald's style, and ruined them ever since.
I appreciate the food labels on food I buy for sure, but the restaurant menu nutritional awareness laws have removed very good, quite delicious, secrets from the restaurant industry just so they aren't targeted by nasty media articles. Gone are mayo and other secret sauces because idiots without the awareness that mayo is 100% fat compare restaurant fat counts.

>>10406381 here. Let me also emphasize this by telling you that the food I chose to eat and the food my parents fed to me was bad enough that I developed gallstones at 12. I then spent a summer with my grandparents eating low-fat because my grandpa had just had a heart attack and while the gallstones havent been a problem since (they're not going to do surgery on a 12 year old when diet change is effective enough) it is because of that and the health class which taught me basic nutrition guidelines that they havent been a problem.

Of course then you've got some people who just don't care. My mother also developed gallstones shortly after I did and went for the surgery. Then proceeded to continue eating whatever she wanted. And after years of her near constant kidney infections and stones still insisted on drinking nothing but Pepsi. When I bitched her out about it she chose to then drink extra sweet tea.

no, it is not because of trailers

food deserts happen in largely black places because of constant losses. It is basically common sense. If you run a grocery store which doesn't sell anything expensive, and people are constantly stealing everything and robbing it, you will lose money and the entire purpose of the store is lost.

Gallstones in kids are calcium related, and not the same pathology for adult development. You should do a little research. Diet aside for a second, things are supposed to just work so much better in a youth barring other illnesses. For instance, you might have only one working kidney or another disorder you aren't aware about.

Female kidney infections are likely starting out in the bladder and going unchecked until it reaches the kidneys, and that begins with genital health and sex life most of the time, and people who do have issues with it will have it over and over again, because of the proximity of the ureter to other anatomy. Not enough water is only part of the problem. It's not just sugar kiddo. And a similar post gallstone diet? Most people have issues with fat after surgery, a lot of heartburn or issues with things like peppers and sausages.

>> No.10406653

>>10406598
Anon I got gallstones because I was eating cheap hamburgers nearly everyday. The final straw, the one thing that caused an attack that convinced them to finally take me to a hospital, was a fried egg sandwich swimming in butter. Or more likely it was margarine. Butter is expensive. The doctors themselves told me to cut down on fatty foods. As for my mother you are right. I rarely saw her take a shower and not once did see a drop of water pass her lips. Her issues are due to a myriad of self negligence. She consumed nothing but snacks cakes, candy, soda, and cereal usually at 3 am. But I brought her up mainly to point out that some people aren't going to change even with education. She worked in the medical field and knew how the human body worked. She just didn't care. She very much has an attitude of I'm an adult and I'll do what I want towards every facet of her life.

What the fuck is wrong with coasties? Does every left-leaning city-tard get cranky if people don't think getting boxed into to a cement prison is superior? You couldn't pay me to move back to the east coast.

>Imagine the convenience store in like Seldovia AK where all items come by boat once a week after 3hrs at sea.
I drove along the PNW coast from south of Seattle into Anchorage through Fairbanks and back again, hitting both the Alcan and Poker Creek ports. Some of the shops I stopped in were selling shit like a small box of Pop Tarts for $16. The Three Bears "grocery store" in Tok was little more than a glorified, extraordinarily overpriced convenience store.

I've been to tiny ass stores on the Big Island that had it better. A lot of Alaska really is remote as fuck.

Migration of income, idiot. Those states are hemorrhaging income. Dem-heavy states, including "fly-overs" like Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan are clearly losing it too.

Other states getting tax dollars for public works isn't relevant to businesses fleeing California. You aren't going to be paying more taxes for very long when your businesses have moved to red states because of your antics.

I had a friend who was in the military in Georgia. She ate a lot of canned veggies because she just couldn't get fresh stuff. To even get canned veggies that weren't corn or beans she had to drive a town over.

The first thing she did when she got back to Washington was buy a bunch of apples and other fruit.

I have been to every military installation that has existed in the state of Georgia since 1980 except the USMC Logistics Base near Tipton, Ga. Every single one possessed a fully functional commissary, stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy, in addition to items from Europe and Japan not readily available to the average American at the time.

Even the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Ga had a small commissary that was fully stocked, and that town has at least 15 major grocery stores.

Only Fort Macpherson lacked a full commissary and they used the one at Fort Gillem a few miles away

I think your friend just didn’t like the fresh fruit in Georgia.

I've actually seen that store in OP's pic and a bunch more like it. It's in Chicago near North Lawndale on the west side. For Chicago at least alot of poor Blacks and Hispanics these are the only nearby and affordable options.i f They had a bit more cash then im sure nothing would stop them from drive a few miles north to hit a whole foods, Mariano's or Jewels. Plus alot of people(Americans in general) don't really know how to eat to live. Though I do see alot of the Mexicans have grocery stores with varying degrees of fresh/wilted produce.

This. Most people shop at farmer's markets where I'm from. It's almost a holiday when it's harvest season for corn because you can get a shitload of ears for cheap.

Also a lot of people hunt and fish regularly so they end up with way more meat than they could eat, so they usually end up giving it away to friends or neighbors.

this. there's an aldi about a 25 minute walk from the location mentioned in this article. problem is, you can't walk down the street holding anything of value in the mound because people will just pull over on the side of the road, take your shit at gunpoint, get back in and drive off. plus, niggers just want to eat cheetos and drink jungle juice( look it up, its the discount brand of koolaid)

it's entirely the fault of the community that they'd rather spend their niggerbux stamps on cheetos and grape soda than normal fucking groceries like produce, dairy, meat. The store can't survive without enough customers coming in.

i'm guessing you don't have much experience with american blacks, but these areas are 80%+ black and they could care less about their condition. it's just the way of life for them to constantly look over your shoulder, and live a life of poverty and despair in a broken down section 8 housing complex while driving a leased 2018 chevy tahoe. my point is, to them it's just normal and how black people live.

I wasn't racist until I moved to memphis. These things aren't people, they're just loud monkeys that can't reason and refuse to change

I live in an area that's about 40% black. I literally walked through a nearly 100% black housing complex just now with a $300 pair of headphones on my head and a relatively new iphone in plain sight, as I do every day. I've lived here for almost 20 years. Never had a problem.

Why don't you move?
