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.
