Food deserts also exist in urban areas, particularly poor and historically disadvantaged communities. No magic to capitalism - the local communities don't get a grocery because they can't pay (and, of course, other reasons), even if the population density is high.

Not in the traditional sense - they simply demand the same things they normally eat, sans the hour+ of commuting to get it.
