Who shops for food beyond snacks at the dollar store??? I guess people who don’t have a choice.
I’m sure that’s the point. For a lot of people that is the only option. I have a Dollar General within a 2 minute drive while the actual grocery store is a 30 minute drive. If I didn’t have a car I’d have no other choice.
I don’t find the $tore is really that cheap. They have smaller sizes in most cases for food items. Prob better off at a big store and getting bulk frozen stuff.
They mention in the article that they chose to use dollar stores to demonstrate the challenge of eating well in food deserts
And this sentence in the conclusion is pretty spot-on:
“Targeted policy to expand food access … will be necessary for the Lancet climate food plan to become effective.”
