Having lived both in the city and fairly rural, I can say that access to a healthy and varied diet is much much easier in the city. Both when it came to restaurants and buying and cooking food.

Small town / suburban areas can be the best with large supermarkets or dedicated markets, as long as you have a car.

That said bushland in Australia has natives that you can’t buy in the supermarket. So there is that.

But the average person probably doesn’t forage.

Maybe a varied diet is what’s causing the problem.
