Bro, in a food desert – it's all fast-food joints and corner stores. Arteries are getting clogged up with all those fries and sodas.
But that’s not a desert tho… deserts are barren of all sustenance it just healthy sustenance
But okay
You just don't understand the term.

👍
But...that is the common definition of "food desert."
"A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food."
I realize the article has issues, but the definition has sources cited for its common usage. If you don't like the definition, fine, but it's a definite term for a defined phenomenon. You don't get to pretend the phenomenon doesn't exist because the term isn't perfect...
Maybe English isn't their first language. I never heard of the phrase before. TIL.
Even a real desert isn't completely barren.
