According to Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, “Access to affordable, healthy food is a basic human right.” This is why she refuses to “allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over communities and close stores at will.” She claims this will “leave behind food deserts.” This is why she will “explore public option grocery stores.”
There are so many things wrong with this statement that it’s hard to know where to begin.
Firstly, I don’t ever recall a time in human history when the government was able to adequately provide food for the entire population. Do you? I didn’t think so. That’s because whenever the government attempts to take over the food supply, people always seem to starve. Weird how that is.
