No, I'm asking for something more than just "you're wrong, Will" when I say that people have access to healthy foods.
People aren't "homogenized" on my block, even. We have several millionaire neighbors and several low income neighbors. We all manage to get food, though, and the poor and rich each have access to healthy foods. Is it the same healthy foods? Not necessarily. I suspect that the more affluent shop at Trader Joe's and I've bumped into them at Whole Foods, but I've also bumped into a neighbor at the Safeway around the corner, where food is a lot cheaper. Still, Safeway still carries healthy foods. And cheap healthy foods. You can get a huge bag of lentils for practically nothing. Where in the US are you cut off from access to lentils? Or canned fruits and veggies? Or even frozen fruits and veggies?
