Foggy definition.
A true "food desert" is a town in Montana where the nearest food store of any kind is 40 miles away.
A google search of food stores in Seattle shows a clear pattern of planned development that the food stores are in the comercial areas and not in the residentail areas. Any "food deserts" are by design.
The fuzzy definition is clearly demonstrated wehn the USDA has Seabrook NH flagged as a food desert yet there are 4 large grocery stores in town that are both affordable and have plenty of fresh food.
The whole concept is a joke as being discussed by the ruling elite.
They are looking for a marketing edge when they claim to be filling a phantom gap.
Whoohoo! A negative vote for telling the truth. Sweet!
