Really? Where are most consumers living then? I think I'm in the unusual situation of seeing both sides of the urban/rural divide in a way that most people don't. The fact that I split my time between a major metropolitan area and a town that's only just starting to recover from the local sawmill closing a couple decades ago probably puts me a lot closer to the mean than most people.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoYour metropolitan area is not representative of other metropolitan areas. Most of population is clustered around cities that are not comparable to SF and it’s surroundings, economically and culture wise.

In the town where I grew up, there were other options further away, but Walmart there now often has better and more diverse produce than several of the supposedly nicer chain supermarkets in SF.
