Quote of the day: “We can give people all the information and advice in the world about healthy eating and exercise, but if parents can’t buy the food they need to prepare those meals because their only options for groceries are the gas station or the local minimart, then all that is just talk.” -- Michelle Obama.

My comment:

John Vignocchi Why would their only options be minimarts or gas stations? There are hundreds of thousands of grocery stores across the U.S.? And grocery stores have the same food as convenience stores (i.e. minimarts or gas stations) but the former are, in my experience, always less expensive. Wal-Mart has inexpensive groceries too, but they aren't unionized (i.e. less campaign funds).
