You can get bananas in the rural "town" where I grew up, and it's got about 300 inhabitants.
Good for your rural town. In my rural town the closest store that sells food is about 10 miles away, and it doesn't sell fresh fruit. Just because things are a certain way for you doesn't mean they're like that all over.
The same can be said about your statement. Unless we've got some decent statistics over how easy/hard it is to get fruit and vegetables in rural towns, we won't get anywhere :p. I can't seem to find that article that's being mentioned here either.
