What is a food desert and what causes one?
In: 1
The primary cause of food deserts is the bizarre ban on vegetable markets and the insistence of policy makers that you have to own a car to buy vegetables.
For example, I live in German suburbia and do not suffer from the food desert phenomenon. I can walk to a supermarket, or ride my bike to the biweekly farmer’s market in town, and on weekends I can buy veggies from a guy who sets up a stand on a nearby parking lot.
