Sorry, none of those - although one was close . . . and pet products were not in the survey, only those products consumed (eaten or used) by people. technically, I guess, according to the logic of the surveyors, pet food would / could count as food . . . additionally, there are many grocery establishments in higher population areas that do not carry pet products, or if they do, only one or two items. also, in thinking of the answer to this question, one would need to consider the "usefulness" of a grocery store in said high population density area and think of them more as a convenience store (hint: cigarettes / liquor is not on the list of the top 20 items).
