> I may have a 7/11 near me which doesn’t even carry coffee grounds or fruit/veg. It’s kind if a sad place to live.

it's only sad because you went to a 7/11 expecting to get produce! I guarantee you there's a real grocery store within a few blocks.

I guarantee you there's a real grocery store within a few blocks.

Pretty good chance that's not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert

"In 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that 23.5% of Americans live in a food desert, meaning that they live more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas, and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas."

Or a 23.5% chance that's not true...

In response to a “guarantee”, that’s a lot.

“I guarantee this plane won’t crash” = 23.5% chance of dying?
