also worth considering food deserts and crap. taxing the crap out of a big mac probably won't help people
We need more Sav-a-lots and similar places in the world. Also need an easier way to tell Dollar General to GTFO, especially in rural areas.
The Big Grocery Store lobby claims that Dollar General runs rural grocery stores out of town with their milk and egg prices. I'm not sure I buy that, but I also don't have a solid understanding of that industry.
Anyway, if what they say is true, then maybe the problem could be fixed by requiring a store to have a produce and meats section if it is going to be allowed to sell milk, eggs, and bread.
