...Ah. That's super shitty. I'm in a pretty small town--about 5000 people--but we still have three large grocery stores (if you count the WalMart as a grocery store), and a small, higher-end health food store. There's heavy competition, which keeps prices down, but also leads to wage stagnation for workers, and means that poor people get fucked by rising food prices.
