The only food desert that I'm actually willing to call a food desert would be the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere in the Canadian Arctic. I knew a guy who lived out there. Everything he ate was either caught and killed by himself or someone else in the village, or it was dry or canned goods. He would come down to Ontario each summer and literally order pallets of canned and dry items, and then have them shipped back to the arctic on a container ship. Any fresh goods at the local store were flown in on a prop plane, so they were expensive and scarce. Half a watermelon would sell for $50 CAD (for comparason, I can get a whole one during the summer for $2 or $3). That is a true food desert. Not these places that fatties whine about because they can't be bothered to walk 15 minutes to an actual grocery store.
