Food desert

Neighborhood that doesn't have a neighborhood supermarket

Well a food desert can have a corner store where you can get snacks chips and cola and stuff but no supermarket.

food desert

Liberal newspeak term to paint America as a bad place keeping inner city people down. Food Desert refers the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables at every tiny convenience store.

Jamal lives in a food desert and must live on two dollar butterfingers, chips and two dollar Nehi purchased from the Korean store owner. Otherwise Jamal would have to walk, bus or bike a three miles once a week for real food and he ain't got time for that shit. Besides, Jamal likes Butterfingers and said you can shove that arugula.

I told the Ethiopians we have food deserts in Baltimore so stop your whining.

Food Desert

°Latvia: Absolute poverty. Prototypical 3rd world country; designed by Rosia. Slum housing. Slum bathrooms. Grocery store, clothing store, markets. Cell phone store, veterinarian, hospital. Beach. Magazines; it's not s slum house in da ghetto if it's not overflowing with magazines and books 👸🏻❣️
°Higgins Lake: Absolute poverty. Slum housing; grocery store, food produce stores. Food Desert; otherwise desert. Like all slum houses. Overflowing with books, magazines.

°Detroit; Gentrified. My house is in absolute poverty; because of India, this location is where my basic human rights get disrespected. They have never been blatantly disrespected in the other locations. Lots of rich white people; Dearborn, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Grosse Pointe, Birmingham, Southfield, Livonia. Lots of unnecessary restaurants, businesses. Too gentrified; too gentrified. But it's good; otherwise I wouldnt be able to see a white -washed version of India. All the cities listed are lil India! But without the microphones. Just like Seinfeld and Friends; rich white people living in relative wealth, but they are unable to function in a 3rd world country. They can't read or write!

°MSU; A lot more diversity than Bloomfield Hills. Less of a food Desert. Brat, Machuca, racial diversity of Latin America, sex trafficking origin and destination countries. A lot of food; I would say that expect for magazines, it has the most food of any of the locations.

I live in a Food Desert. I'm never provided adequate food; Asians step in and provide food for me. My colonizers want to kill me and are spoiled Europeans; this planet is designed for nobody and is a result of Caucasian Privilege.

ecological food desert

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.
