    I don’t think a food desert means what you think it means…

    Are you trying to say that we should rate food production of the US based on how many grocery stores we have in residential areas?

    In the end a food desert really just means you have to drive a little farther to get to the store.

      A little further implies a minor inconvenience as if it’s not a real problem. No, food production shouldn’t be tied to number of grocery stores. Not sure how you think they’re implying that. It is a logistical problem that could be solved if people weren’t more worried about profit than human needs and suffering. Zoning laws probably also play a role.
