Yeah I live in a pretty poor area but we do okay, we have a Sobey's thats a ten minute walk away (its called the ghetto Sobey's for a reason, though, not the greatest selection or the freshest of veggies but could be a lot worse) and a better grocery store a little further away.
But where I'm from originally there's one small store that sells food in the entire community. It does have some fruits and veggies, but mostly its freezer foods and canned food. Combined with the fact that the standard Newfie diet is very high in fat and sodium (much like the standard American diet), no wonder so many people in rural Newfoundland are overweight or obese.
