Revelations Radio guys actually revealed they have a brain and understand the rle of investing and how companies such as Whole Foods and Traders Joe selects where to put their stores. Tim Kilkenny and Andrew Hoffman wondered why whole Foods had such few stores in the town of Yakima, Washington which is a community of fifty thousand some miles East of Seattle.
Yakima Washington once had a thriving downtown that had a downturn as companies and corporations didn'tt think it was worth investing that's the power capitalists want is deciding what areas they can make or break depending on their local politics and what breaks they can get in form of taxes. 
Seattle has tons of these fresh foods and grocery chains and independents and indeed a friend had told Andrew why the company he worked in wouldn't put a store in the cities at the Eastern edge of the state as opposed to the wealthy Seattle metro area. Whole foods and traders Joes go by te zip codes and annual income of the residents in selecting where to locate their stores thus corporate America selecting where property values can get economic boosts. 
Seattle is one of the most expensive cities with rents and house prices skyrocketing and the Revelations radio guys noticed tis trend is responsible for food deserts ad is the problem when the free-market is left to its end. as Kilkenny and Hoffman noticed the poor then get junkie corner cigarette and liquor stores and bad cheap ship stores in their neighborhoods instead of the alternative of quality food leading to an obesity epidemic adding to the discrimination these people already face in life because of where they are stuck. the truthfulness of this revelation fro a head executive of Whole foods to Mr Hoffman was a revelation to why the wealthy look healthy and the poor look like trash.
