        <description><![CDATA[A true &quot;food desert&quot; 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 &quot;food deserts&quot; 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!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[So what's your point?  What am I missing?  This endeavor might not have fresh fruit and vegies (because the article's phrase &quot;fresh affordable food&quot; isn't specific enough) so forget the idea all together?This effort strives to make a business case for providing the basic things we need w/in walking distance - the essence of livable communities and &quot;location efficiency&quot; and is to be applauded.  I recently stopped in an urban 7-11 and saw they sold fresh fruit.  Awesome!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nice graphic showing predominately (what looks like) fruit and veggies and emphasis on &quot;fresh&quot; but the text does not even mention the availability of any produce.  What kind of healthy diet has absolutely no fruits and veggies?  And if you have to go to another store to buy those items then you can buy all the items this &quot;store&quot; stocks there as well.  WTF?  Am I missing something?]]></description>
