He was wrong.  Keep arguing about how best to say he was wrong, but he was wrong.

Again, I'm very familiar with this one.  But everyone can keep discussing "what he meant" vs "what he said" and he'll still be wrong.

But sure...we have a lot of food here!  Yay!

And you were wrong in how you characterized his comments. You attributed an argument to him that he never made.

I completely agree that we need to address food deserts and that's a reason why I pointed out that the conversation by everyone in this thread was missing the mark on what topic he was actually discussing. 

He is correct in his suggestion that we do not need more foreign food suppliers as we make plenty in this country. He's wrong in suggesting that it's available to all communities. The challenge now is ensuring that all communities actually have this food accessible.
