Every grocery store has healthy foods being sold at a discount to the usually more expensive unhealthy foods being sold there.

The problem is not that grocery stores do not stock healthy food (not that they have any obligation to) but that many consumers prefer to buy unhealthy food.

So what she is calling for is restricting consumer freedoms and free enterprise in general.

Just look at what gets stolen when the flash mobs hit the convenience stores. It’s not bananas and oranges, it’s candy and soda.

I buy healthy generic food ALL the time, the problem is you can buy oreo cookies, coke and junk food with food stamps/ebt. If they started restricting the buying power fo the EBT cards in certain states the “social justice” crowd would squeal like the stuck pigs they are.

I say they are reaping what they sow with their welfare state, they want to end obesity in the poor, end the welfare state...

And all stupid criop subsidies.

Define "healthy foods" vs. "unhealthy foods" because I suspect you're fooling yourself. What's your per-person budget?
