Please go look up what a Food Desert is.

A completely made up thing?
I used to live in a food desert. Glad to know I imagined it and lived in fantasyland.
I’m sure they exist in places like Kingman. Doesn’t mean we need to structure our pricing policy around 0.001% of people
Doing the bare minimum research would tell you 6% of Americans live in a food desert and 14% live in "food insecurity" but you clearly have no interest in understanding the issue.
I’m aware of these numbers and find them unconvincing. Food deserts are primarily due to customers preferred choices of groceries in those areas.
I'm not a big "check your privilege" person but you are the definition of privileged if you actually think food deserts are because people don't want to shop at Kroger.
