The food & drink available at our Gas Stations needs to be completely re-vamped!

If you go to the gas stations in Austria, Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, etc. you often find fancy cappuccino makers, fresh bread, fresh-squeezed juices, and probably around 20 types of sparkling / spring water. You go to a gas station in America, you are lucky if you find ONE banana and just ONE spring / sparkling water!!!

Our gas stations are filled with junk food! Corn fructose syrup crap, MSG Doritos and Cup-o-Noodle, fried food, and soda to the extreme! It’s about 80% junk food versus in other countries its the opposite, its about 80% healthy food!!!

I remember I walked into a gas station in Switzerland around 10 years ago - I was smelling the aroma of fresh bread, they offer fresh-squeezed juice, yogurts, various sparkling waters, etc. Barely any crappy soda and if they sell chocolate, its good quality chocolate not crap like Mars bars or Snickers!

I remember also going to a stop for Truckers in Switzerland and they also had fresh-squeezed juice, they had a SALAD BAR, and different meats that they grill on demand. What do we have for our truckers!?? Fried food, fast food, and soda and they are lucky if they get a diner once and a while that has pasta / meatloaf / traditional American cuisine.

WE NEED TO STOP SELLING SOOO MUCH JUNK TO PEOPLE!!! We are acting like a third world country not a first world country!!!

It is not the gas stations that are at fault - it’s the food itself that is made available to those stations’ cheap-ways owners

They are owners - they can always choose what they buy. But, yes the entire system is at fault. It’s filled with junk and a lack of education of what is good and people also don’t know that it can be waaaay better. A lot of Americans don’t travel and so they think that America is the ‘example’ but NO - it is FAR behind on health compared to every one else. In Peru, every market has a fresh juice bar and often times at least 10 different vendors doing fresh juices!!! It’s the entire system that’s sick… they prefer junk food over things that actually boost your immune system – its disgusting actually :frowning:
