Yep. Minneapolis recently experimented with requiring all stores selling food in the city to stock some "fresh/healthy" foods. It's been a disaster; it turns out that the reason these products weren't being stocked is because people don't want to buy them. Force stores to devote some of their limited shelf space to expensive, perishable items, and people still won't buy them, but now the prices on all other items has to go up to make up for the wasted expired food that gets thrown out. These sorts of policies hurt the poor, and to a lesser extent, small businesses, while helping no one. And yelling about Dollar General is going to have the same result (if it has any impact at all). > Once we start choosing good foods, stores will have no choice but to start selling more of that. Let the backlash begin! Yep.
