a form of "what", to be used when also suggesting or asking "but...?" simultaneously. especially in response to a narrower-minded, ignorant, or less-informed statement or expression. also, especially to be used with Indian or Spanish accents pronouncing "w" as "v" or "b" as "v", respectively.
Maya replied, "?bwhat...?" when the U.S.A. president declared building a wall on the U.S.A./Mexico border.

whereas just "food desert" is currently considered (more from public health perspective) as places where the local populations do not have (convenient) access to affordable, healthy food, this more wholistic concept is a less human-centric understanding that implies both, a low, non-proportionate amount of food grown, and dependency on (usually both environmentally unsustainable and imbalanced fossil fuel energies and farm land stewardship) less-/unnatural imports of food from "non-renewable" or less lively (e.g. degraded/depleted top soils and watersheds) source farms
After being affected by the spirit of "deep ecology", I had a fresher awareness of the ironic, or at least unnatural, situation of how the grocery stores, markets, restaurants, etc. made it appear like there's an abundance of food, but our less- or unhealthy human-built environment that had me dependent on unsustainable, imbalanced energies (like fossil fuels and their corresponding implements) actually was an ecological food desert.
if eating were like making money (from commercials mostly, in this case), the NFL's "Super Bowl" (and other college "bowl" games), then the American football stadium "bowl" (as seen zoomed out), sure is "super" to those certain business people making all that money.
Would you rather have soup or bowl.. of MONEY! from the Super Bowl? I know our advertising department's got a superbowl to eat off of with that recent deal made.
like the word "compost", the process of humans/consciously making soil
Soil is normally made my Mother Nature naturally, but in these abnormal conditions characterized by us humans so hugely destroying our environment, it is a good idea we intelligently soilify all our food waste, humanure, and other appropriate organic and inorganic wastes the best way we know to regenerate our environment.
1) an indefinite, yet apparent type of subjective knowing/awareness that is better than any other way of knowing
2) the best that is known at a time, but can still be improved upon, like with new knowledge/information
1) Especially in these times of Information age when our knowledge of our world is so vast, much more accessible via this wwweb, and could often use much improvement, the importance to not merely know, but to best-know, will be increasingly realized.
2) Those people's multitude energies, computations, algorithms, complications, hard works, etc. provided them a certain degree of knowing, that worked okay, but when that other group's best-know confronted their efforts, their was no question - and through their OWN way of knowing at that - that they'd be better to adopt from that best-know.
synonymous with "compost", to make soil again
The formidable plan aimed to resoil much areas of our earth that had been degraded by destructive human activities.
