    “Grocery stores”

    Buddy of mine is going through a divorce. Wife crashed his car the day she told him about her affair. Selling their house now, he’s in it (carless) and going through a divorce.

    The choices for grocery shopping in less than an hour walk from his house are a Family Dollar and a Cumberland Farms (a gas station). And they are both literally uphill both ways.

    How the fuck can people be healthy on that?

    His house isn’t even far out in the boonies. It’s maybe like a quarter mile off a main road. My house is way worse for that. I don’t even think I could buy food within a walkable distance. Maybe eggs and milk from a backyard farmers but that’s it.
