"Food deserts" exist. For some, Walmart is their only grocery store within a reasonable distance.

I never really thought about walmart having groceries.

The USDA says a food desert is where a store is 1 (ONE!) mile away in urban settings.

The fuck? A mile? You mean a ten to 15 minute walk?

Edit: To be clear, I am complaining not about the distance or the time, be accessibility, it should be a 15 minute walk, but it American areas could be accross 10 lanes, or along busy roads. Accessibility to everything can be a pain in the ass and there should be walkable, bikeable, or transportation options. Nevermind just the groceries.
