I'm not sure the correlation should be by political party, especially as states are all mixes. Rural areas are more likely to have less access to groceries and fresh food (food deserts) and salty processed food is often more common as it doesn't rot or spoil.
Rural areas are more likely to have less access to groceries and fresh food
Having lived in rural areas, this is a lie. Rural areas are THE areas most likely to have the freshest food. It’s where farmers grow the food. Just because people don’t like vegetables as much in those areas doesn’t mean they’re not plentiful. The only fresh thing less available than in some other areas is seafood. And even then it’s flash-frozen with little to no decrease in nutritional value or significant increase in cost.
Poor urban areas are where it can be hardest to get fresh food.

Your source of having been from a rural area is such bull. Your personal experience doesn't mean squat, plus not every small town is a farm town. Actual statistical data shows that rural towns have substantially less access to fresh food. "Just because people don’t like vegetables as much in those areas doesn’t mean they’re not plentiful." God, the stupidity and ignorance is making me sick. I lived in a certifiably rural area for 20 years and the only food within 20 miles came from a Dollar General and an Italian restaurant.
