Residents of food desert areas have no alternative but to utilize private cars, travel several miles on foot, or use public transit to gain access to healthful food. Consumers without cars are dependent on food sources in their closest proximity. Ownership and access to a vehicle may be the best marker for access regardless of Socioeconomic status. A study by Inagami reveals that the distance traveled to food stores is an independent predictor of BMI.[10] The problem increases in rural food desert areas, where closing the distance to nutritional food access is impossible on foot.-Wikipedia

In a way yes and in a way no.

I grow a lot of fruit, vegetables and berries in my own yard. And, I fill my deep freezer up every summer with enough fresh stuff to last the year.

On the other hand, I live in a rural area and the closet grocery store is about 15 miles from me.

I wouldn't starve but I wouldn't have any fresh milk and any protein would have to come from the squirrels. Now that is an image that could harm my mental health if I thought about it for a minute.

Good question rapp, I'll have to put some more thought into that one.

I live on candy bars. Nothing healthy for me.

I'm very fortunate my landlord takes me shopping although I'm in the city and there's a lot close to... Just more of a pain without a car

I live in California.

Fresh veggies and fruit almost always available all year long , in most stores.

Vegetable stands are all over the place , easy to get too.

For meat, I usually stick to skinless boneless chicken breasts and thighs.
Occasionally a red meat .

I do the cooking in my house, and I consider myself a good cook, but it helps when I have so many fresh items available to me year round , right around the corner

I first read that as

FOOD DESSERTS ..... LOL !
