Given how many Americans are in food deserts where it’s close to impossible to get anything but junk food, it’s definitely an absolutely moronic move.
First you have to make sure that fresh and healthy food is available for everyone then you make this kind of move.
Not the other way around…
If you want to know the quality of US education before current cuts…
I learned about food deserts in 7th grade. The teacher called it food desserts and went into great detail about how it meant places where you can only find desserts to eat like ice cream shops. It’s a real problem for these areas because they don’t have real food to eat and everyone is obese from only eating desserts.
People really just don’t understand how fucked the U.S education system is. The idiots all had kids, and some of those kids became teachers, who continue to pass down their culture of ignorance. Meanwhile, teaching is such a dogshit job that nobody in the U.S. wants to do it, so hiring standards have gotten lower and lower.
It’s like a perfect storm taking us to a situation where people at a 7th grade reading level are teaching U.S. History to 10th graders.
Good lord. How in the hell does that thinking even survive a first pass at thinking about how a fru-fru place like an ice cream shop could survive while the people living there wouldn’t be able to get to a place with ‘real food’ on offer?
The implication was more we were supposed to be judging them for being fat and only wanting to eat desserts, ruining the options for everyone else. Free market giving them what they want.
This kind of thing is how millions of people can think they are well informed and the blame is on some other demographic. While not knowing anything about the subject.
Yeah agreed. It’s always insane to me to hear how all that works in the US. Here I’ve always had a supermarket at <10 min by bike, and those always have fresh fruit and vegetables. A society where unhealthy food is way easier and cheaper to get is a recipe for disaster

Let them eat cake.
