Former Democratic Senate nominee claims "Ketchup packets are not available in rural areas."

Swearingin is a random candidate who has no skills to message on the issues. But with that said the concept of a food desert isn't hard to understand and they exist in both rural and urban areas. It's a lack of availability of fresh nutritious food and does not include restaurants.

This is exactly how Democrats should be targeting Republicans. They have control of these rural states, but offer nothing to actually fix the issues. Food deserts are a simple issue to message on and could be solved by creating food co-ops in these areas that would not only provide food but also jobs.

McDonald's isn't even a healthy choice for regular meals, so even if one is nearby it doesn't solve nutritional needs. West Virginia has had more deaths than births as of late so fast food is not the answer. Republicans and even some Democrats are too busy trying to fight "wokeness" to actually tackle real issues like food deserts. It wold be more productive to come up with plan to fight this than to argue about social issues and trying to police entertainment constantly.
