WITH GROCERY DELIVERY BECOMING AVAILABLE ALL OVER, ISN’T THE VERY CONCEPT OF A “FOOD DESERT” BECOMING OBSOLETE?I call BS on the whole "food desert" and "food insecurity" issues anyway, at least in the United States.
Related: “Food desert” research is bogus. Plus: “‘Knoxville’s Federally-Designated ‘Food Deserts’ Include Super Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kroger. Plus a couple of tasty oriental supermarkets.’ And a Trader Joe’s.”
Anyway, if you want minority neighborhoods to have more farmer’s markets, you’re just promoting white privilege, so shut up, racist.

You might enjoy this story. City of Dallas, already short on funds due to various non-working social justice programs, is not under a request/command to provide a subsidized grocery to alleged "food deserts" in south Dallas. Never mind that you can drive less than half an hour and reach a Walmart, there's nothing RIGHT THERE IN THE 'HOOD. Many of the usual chains like Kroger,Alberssons, Tom Thumb have tried putting stores in the area, but the amount of crime against the stores, their employees and their patrons make it where the locations can't get insurance. So enter the City of Dallas, which never met an overpriced case to make political points. A high end grocery in Uptown (think upscale Manhattan without access to Broadway) wants to allegedly help the low income folks in the "food desert" but claim they can't do it without hefty financial aid from the city. Even the folks in that area would prefer their taxes go for maintaining streets, parks and infrastructure over paying an already overpriced small grocery which would run through low income budgets in days rather than weeks.
