If you also don't see vegetable gardens, you're very likely right about 
the diets of the particular people whose carts you see in the 
supermarket. But I often wonder what people think of my supermarket 
cart, which also rarely has fruits or vegetables in it -- because 
almost all of mine come out of my fields or my neighbors' fields, fresh 
in season and in winter via the freezer and the root cellar.
