Exactly how is being poor the most common situation? Are you under the impression that everyone is poor?

What?

Read my post. My point is that you don't have to be poor to lack access to fresh produce and in fact, if you're poor, chances are you have better access to it.

I think this may be a little off. In fact a lot of poorer urban areas have relatively little access to fresh produce and have been dubbed "food desserts".

What does one do if in a desert, with nigh unto no food available and conditions oppressive? MOVE.

Most of these "food deserts" are that way because harsh socioeconomic conditions (to wit: disinterest in quality products, coupled with prolific theft) made commerce in suitable foods untenable. Complain about "food justice" all you want, but the next meal is just a few hours away as is the next bus ticket. Demanding someone provide a balanced meal is both unproductive and unfair, so figure out a near term solution.

BTW, some of us are trying to help by finding what is viable at low costs in nearby stores. Strange how many deride the attempt to help.
