    I don’t think you finished the video, he explains why your last sentence is just a bad faith argument. It’s a really good show with lots of information in a funny format. You should give it a try.

          I listened to 5 minutes of the same arguments I’ve heard quite often. I made assumptions on the other 45 minutes. I assume he says that going shopping every week is prohibitive as well as cooking your own food.

          I don’t agree with any of those assessments outside of a very small populations in the US. The overwhelming majority have abundant access to a diverse set of healthy food at incredibly cheap prices

            So, how can you say you agree when you literally didn’t watch it, and if you had, you would literally know you don’t agree.

            The answer to your question is food deserts.

              As of 2023, there are over 6,500 food deserts in the United States. The USDA estimates that 18.8 million people, or about 6.1% of the U.S. population, live in a food desert.

              For the vast majority of people, you can get whatever you want. We should do everything in our power to ensure as much of that 6% gets closer access to healthy food.

              Did this video present food deserts as a more general reason why healthy food is expensive? shockedpikachu.gif
