The totalitarian government of Minneapolis actually passed a law which forces convenience stores to sell certain foods

John Stossel’s newest column, which is about Minneapolis, states:
“They even tell supermarkets what cereal they must sell”
This was new information to me. I was curious, so I googled, and found out that in 2008, Minneapolis passed a law that forces convenience stores to sell a certain minimum amount of certain healthy foods. However, Stossel was mistaken in his claim that the law affected larger stores such as supermarkets.
In 2018, 10 years after the law passed, an article on it stated:
“… despite the increased availability of healthy foods, shopper surveys and home-food analyses showed no significant increase in people purchasing healthy foods in Minneapolis under the ordinance…”
In other words, the totalitarians who control the government of Minneapolis are forcing convenience stores to sell increased amounts of healthy foods that the stores’ actual customers do not want to buy.
