Doing the bare minimum research would tell you 6% of Americans live in a food desert and 14% live in "food insecurity" but you clearly have no interest in understanding the issue.

I’m aware of these numbers and find them unconvincing. Food deserts are primarily due to customers preferred choices of groceries in those areas.

  • I'm not a big "check your privilege" person but you are the definition of privileged if you actually think food deserts are because people don't want to shop at Kroger.

    • It’s more like because they prefer to buy things like chips and soda over other options. Grocery stores then start stocking more of the former and less of the latter.
