    Did I say all? No most…

    But now that we’re part reading comprehension, I can point out that food deserts exist in Europe as well. Both in the rich counties and those pesky Eastern ones you like to block out of your head.

    Y’all notice the lack of truly hard data. Turns out the yuros just ain’t monitoring and it’s highly likely through correlation to be very underreported.

    Don’t even get me started on Asia.

      Oh my god the fucking fragility and whataboutism.

      No one ever said other countries don’t have food desert problems. They absolutely do.

      Your original comment is just disingenuous when there are millions of people suffering because of the in the US, and millions more elsewhere as well.

        Do you not know what most means? If I said billionaires owned most of the wealth would you be screeching over is usage?

        What about 85%+ and my usage of most do you most specifically take issue with?

      First of all, speak English, this isn’t Bumfuckcousinfuckernowhereville.

      Secondly, oh no “hard data” on European food deserts? Because we really don’t have them like the US. Even if our cities tried planning as shit as yours, around a completely car centric culture, they really can’t because the routes and buildings that have existed for centuries just don’t allow for that. And that’s saying if we even had someone doing that. We don’t.

      Compare public transport and social security in EU vs US.

      Stark contrast.

      Compare design philosophy of cities.

      Stark contrast.

      Compare to American food regulation.

      Stark contrast.

      I know you never want to admit that the US is worse in anything, but now you’re just genuinely being ridiculous.

      In the US you sometimes literally can’t walk out of a neighbourhood, because anything surrounding it is private land and there’s no curb to walk on. So get driven over or shot by some angry land owner. And that wasn’t me making that up, word for word for Americans said in a thread not long ago.

      I can walk through any fucking field or woods I feel like, no matter who owns it.

      Oh akd also everyone’s not strapped so even if they did get mad, my chances of getting shot are way smaller.

      The US is a garbage country and the sooner you accept it the sooner we can fix it.
