Food deserts are the new global warming-just another scam!
Read how they are determined: http://www.economist.com/node/18929190?frsc=dg|a
Thanks for the link. Very informative. So if a census area has only 20% living below the poverty level and 33% of the population live more than a mile from a supermarket (smaller grocery stores and other place with fresh produce don’t count), the entire area is considered a “food desert”.
A person can walk a mile in about 20 minutes at a moderate pace and get some great obesity-fighting exercise as a bonus. But if they are 1.1 miles from a grocery store they are in a “food desert”?
