@mint very much varies. i have a shitty store a 5 min walk from my house, and a huge one a 15 min walk, that's kinda best case scenario, and how i've always lived. some people live in food deserts where the only way to get food is to drive 30 minutes, except they can't afford a car so they starve or slowly die by only being able to eat mcdonalds because thats all that's in their area. and then some deranged rich people (like in this photo) decide that being near a grocery store is bad because it brings them near Commoners and instead make some chump deliver groceries to them instead.

@mint i want to clarify that the "food desert" label is most relevant in urban areas where one could (should) in theory have plentiful access to good groceries (unlike a rural area where you're just literally far from everything), but the system has failed to provide for either a grocery store in their vicinity or the necessary transit to be able to get to their nearest store. the city i live in has both problems, public transit is basically non existent, so large swaths of very populated areas are considered food deserts, and then instead of actual grocery markets we have a lot of "bargain stores" that only sell really shitty processed foods and nothing good.

@nik Not a single store or even ларёк in sight, do you burgerstanis always have to drive to nearest commercial district to, say, buy some bread?
