Yep, it's their fault for living in a food desert and not the fault of the corporations that made it a food dessert ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Food deserts are mostly not the fault of corporations; they're the fault of zoning. Some of that blame admittedly rests on misguided (to say the least) modernist urban planners back in the '30s, but most of it rests squarely on the shoulders of NIMBYs.

Neither of you seem to know what a food desert is.

Yeah. "I have to drive for 15 minutes to access an endless range of fresh produce. Food desert!"
