    Never made that argument, but cool story. My point is: if you chose to buy a sugar drink don’t blame food deserts, the weather, the government, or Jupiter for your access to healthy food. Even when you have access you don’t choose it, so that’s obviously not the problem.

      Jesus you are thick of skull.

      A person who doesn’t have access to good tap water and may not have anything but small convenience stores near him doesn’t necessarily have access to actual regular water, because that’s not a good product for small convenience stores to have, as the profit margins are too small.

      You don’t understand commerce, you don’t understand business, you don’t understand economy, hell, you don’t even understand English.

      You can have your childish tantrum all you want but everyone here knows you’re utterly wrong, even you.

      I know you don’t understand English, but once again, no-one is blaming anyone or excusing anything. Because I, a person who has never been in the US, is just talking about a societal phenomena that’s pretty promo prominent in, but not limited to, the US.

      Oh sorry, that’s me “writing an essay” again and you won’t be able to keep up. :((((

        Sure, convenience stores don’t have water… Tell me the one about Cinderella next.

          Lots of them do not stack plain bottled water. You may get vitamin waters and fizzy sugar free “health drinks”, but yes, convenience stores are limited in size and in capitalism, convenience stores are not for charity. The better the profit the more likely you are to stack that product.

          Coke is profitable, bottled water less so. It’s common enough nowadays, but like I showed you, your ideas of what sort is sold and at what prices are downright schizophrenic.

          Remember when you cried that no 1e bottles exist? But I showed you that even my nearest store here in Finland, which again, Finland = Not the place with food deserts.

            Yep, the famous convenience store without water. Totally real and not made up.

              “Made up”? Like how you’re making up stuff and even when I prove with extensive source how wrong you are, you won’t accept even making the tiniest mistake.

              You basically pretend food deserts don’t exist, that it’s just choice that’s making it seem like people don’t have access to supermarkets? You know, so they have to go to. convenience stores and kiosks to get overpriced products.

              Just like 1e 0.5l bottles exist, unlike you claim (that such a thing doesn’t exist), and just like how the price does include the deposit, unlike you said.

              Convenience stores have extremely limited selections and PLAIN WATER IS NOT REALLY TOO PROFITABLE.

              I’ve met dogs who we’re easier to teach, lol

                Yes, water, the most abundant nutrient with basically zero source cost, is not profitable. But if you add 30% sugar and a bunch of other stuff, it is profitable. Do you also sell bridges?

                  Oh so now you’re just arguing against capitalism.

                  Wow, so you just never get bored of being humiliated?

                  Literally everything you’ve said has been proved wrong and you still desire more humiliation.

                  “Things are overpriced in capitalism and selling people sugar isn’t healthy :///”

                  Wow, what are you, 12?

                  Literally you just keep coming here to prove wrong. You said there are no shops with 1e bottles. Wrong, you said food deserts don’t exist. Etc etc etc etc.

                  Bro just tuck your tail and run. This is pathetic.

                    I like capitalism better than any other system I tried. Water is super profitable and thus carried in convenience stores.
