There's also been a number of studies done on what constitutes a "food desert" in the United States, where people don't have nearby access to a proper grocery store, just small convenience stores (and things like a strip mall with convenience store, liquor store, vape shop, etc). And as it correlates with obesity and health issues caused by an unhealthy diet. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=US+low+income+food+deserts https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=US+low+in...

Ah, hadn't realized it had been studied. Nice find. Growing up with an immigrant family and parents who didn't have the opportunity I did to change environments and control the food around me (either by location, and proximity of nearby stores, and also whats physically in my home) I notice how much my "impulse" control simply changes based on whats around me. When I am in their home space, the unhealthy diet and health issues abound.
