12 million people, who still get food. No one is starving. I’m technically in a food desert, but have tons of food available to me via a 20min drive to my local city. Almost all food deserts are in rural areas, there is no PT and everyone has a car because you have to be have one. Stop acting like there are 12 million people starving to death.
The person I replied to was using drastically understated numbers, it’s 19 million. But that article should help you understand the difference between food desert and starving. No idea where you saw anyone talking about starvation tho. It seems like you just made up a strawman…
You say that but you also admit there are thousands of food deserts across the country. Pick one
Currently at 3.8%

I’m okay with edge case.
Of 333 million…
That’s 12 million people, they’re not a rounding error
Edit:
Also, it’s at 6.1%, or 19 million people…

Naa it’s just tankies in here acting like capitalism is the reason food deserts exist, and that communism would magically fix that.
And we should strive to improve. I never said otherwise.
What?
Weren’t you just “arguing” that we shouldn’t help them?
No, I said using the US food supply chain is a poor example.
I’m guessing you’re in the 96.2%
