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.
