Our family used to operate a convenience store in a gas station, business is business and only profitable items are to be sold. Unprofitable items are perishable items… real food is perishable… so eventually convenience stores wind up selling long shelf life items… junk food.
Witness how mind numbing the display of this convenience store goes:
You are presented with many “food” choices all choices are bad. Choose none of the above. They do not deserve your money and those junk foods do not deserve to be ingested in your body.
I joke about this to my kids and warn if they were bad, their punishment would be unlimited junk food so they will suffer.
We do not watch television so none of that junk is familiar to us.
Real nutritious food in this country does not come in fancy colorful wrappings. You go straight to the wet market or organic cooperative to buy real nutritious food.
Convenience stores by virtue of aversion to spoilage of short shelf lives sell only junk food.
