The community of Cairo, Illinois, once a food desert, welcomed its new market last year with balloons and cheers. But the store is struggling — exposing problems with the programs set up to help.
Cool, dollar general only sells dry goods and not enough of a variety to cover basic food groups. There are no vegetables, proteins, or dairy products unless you include hot pockets.
Rural American should be able to access more than frozen meals and junk food so stop being a prick. None should suffer from malnutrition and elevated crime rate.

Pretty sure DG sells dairy products… theres also DG markets, they are more inline with a small supermarket.
But DG is shit and only exist because they pushed everything else out or gobbled up the left over from walmart.
Yeah, we have four in my town and none of them sell dairy products. I’ve heard they’ve been pressured to provide healthier options with some success.
I avoid shopping at DG, but i checked my local one’s online catalogs… they all sell dairy stuff, but like 90% are out of stock. Lmao
