LOL, most of Wyo., Mont., So. Dak., etc. are food deserts. 0.25 mi.? Harf, harf, harf.
Whatever it takes to get the liberals to cry in their Wheaties.
Most of the entire civilized world is a food desert by this definition. I have lived in 6 major cities and never been closer than a mile from the nearest food market, including Baltimore. One of the most wonderful markets in the east is in downtown Baltimore. The Lexington market was always my destination of choice for food. I took public transportation 5 miles to get there. More stupidity from the bastion of ignorance.
Yep this story is a real tear jerker. Do these folks really expect a Walmart superstore to be next to every section 8 housing complex? Do they expect to be given everything. I suggest a new Gov plan called WORK or nothing.
Living in the Black Hills of So. Dak. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to the nearest store. No problem. I love living in a “food desert”.
My wife works for Wal-Mart, traveling all over the country, supervising the opening of new stores. A few years back, they were opening a new one in Gainesville, Texas. I wrote to an F.R. friend, telling her about it because I knew she lived in that general area. She said Hoorah, we are finally getting a Wal-Mart!
I went to stay with my wife for a few weeks, I called my friend who invited us to visit her. She lived 35 mmiles from there but acted as if 35 miles was just a hop, skip and a jump for her to go to a store.
Yep, grew up twentyone miles from the closest grocery store.
