One time I was in a Walmart Supercenter (or whatever it is they call the huge ones) in Michigan. I had been there a few times but I couldn't find the fruit & veg section any more, they seemed to have moved it and put Halloween candy in it's place. After burning 10-15 minutes searching the whole store, I gave up and asked a staff member where they put it. "Oh we got rid of that sorry". It's literally the biggest supermarket in the city and you can't buy an apple or a banana.
There was a fancier place I used to go to in that city, Fresh-something-or-other. The kind that models themselves after Whole Foods. Everything time I went there, they only ever had green bananas. I mean, totally inedible, days away from being ripe. Every time.
Honestly can't tell if this is satire or not. To think that you can reduce the food argument to the availability of _grass fed beef_ at a gas station?
which is quite absurd. I'm yet to find such gas station in any European country and I've been to at least half of them. Also Whole Foods seems to be quite a bit average even when compared to European supermarkets in most countries.
How did you come to that conclusion? I mean are you talking about taste preferences or about the quality.
Because quality wise it seems that there is quite a bit more variability in the US than in some nicer European countries like France, Spain, Italy and some chains in Britain and other countries (EE OTH is not that great even when comparing to the US...) but in general you can find "high quality" food if you look for it.
