Looking at google maps for grocery stores in that area, I’m seeing...Grocery stores in that area.

In my state there’s a small city where government and non-profit peeps cry for more funding for ‘food desert.’ Right smack in the middle of their crying map of no food... has a full service supermarket - with decent prices.

Obama made a big deal about a food desert over in Marrero, La and Michelle attended the opening of a minority owned grocery. The thing they never noted was literally a half mile down the road was a full sized SuperWalmart. It just wasn’t within walking distance of the Section 8 and low income high crime areas served by the other store.

That store lasted probably less than a year before it folded.

Food deserts really don’t exist in American cities.
