the food i've gotten at konbini in japan is on par with specialty gas stations, such as KwikTrip, Casey's, Wawa or Buc-ees in the US. I don't trust food at my 7-11 at home. in japan they get shipments of fresh food _at least_ daily. Soba, onigiri, sandwiches aren't necessarily junk food but they had plenty of those options as well. The US is only junk food.

Don't mean to be snarky, but you say:

- Food options in Konbini are similar to Buc-ees in the US

- Food options in Konbini "aren't necessarily junk food"

- The US is only junk food

All three of those can't be true!

Japan also has 7-11s, they're in fact the largest brand of konbini.

GP was clearly saying that 7-11 in the US is only junk food, and Japanese konbinis offer food comparable to that of specialty gas stations like Buc-ees.

Which I consider a reasonable assessment of the facts.

Buc-ees FTW
