I'm not sure this makes sense. Just taking the headline at face value if 70 % of the food supply in the US accounts for less than 50% of the profit why not devote a greater % of the stores sf to those goods that generate profit? Or have profoundly smaller stores? Why don't convience stores just sell fresh meat and veg if that's where the money is? Why isn't Dollar General cashing in on the highly lucrative fresh green bean and Salmon market?
Fuck the "baking" isle, where is the brussel sprout isle? Frozen foods? No thanks, take me to the shrimp quadrant.
