    So how much food do you want to waste so you can see a nice shiny super market in the middle of nowhere?

      Enough so that people don’t starve? What a strange question. I’d rather waste food than have children go hungry.

        Cool, there’s two dollar generals there already that sell groceries.

        What a supermarket would do is be a vanity project.

          Cool, dollar general only sells dry goods and not enough of a variety to cover basic food groups. There are no vegetables, proteins, or dairy products unless you include hot pockets.

          Rural American should be able to access more than frozen meals and junk food so stop being a prick. None should suffer from malnutrition and elevated crime rate.

          Ever been to a dollar general that sells groceries? The ones near me frequently sell out of 25-30% of the groceries they offer, and then don’t get restocked for a couple of weeks. And we have traditional grocery stores nearby and a Walmart 10 miles away. I wouldn’t trust DG Market to reliably provide groceries for a community if no other options were available.
