> Petrol stations in Europe do not sell grass-fed beef, acai bowls and organic produce.

Honestly can't tell if this is satire or not. To think that you can reduce the food argument to the availability of _grass fed beef_ at a gas station?

Well, they were responding to a claim that: "food you get in Whole Foods is at best similar to what you find in a petrol station in Europe"

which is quite absurd. I'm yet to find such gas station in any European country and I've been to at least half of them. Also Whole Foods seems to be quite a bit average even when compared to European supermarkets in most countries.

I don't think the best way to discount an absurd claim is to make an equally absurd set of claims.

But I can see that approaches to this may differ.
