The government invented social justice crisis taken up by Mrs. O, the "Food Desert", is back and it's Trump's fault.

In short...
If you live in a poorer area and have more than a 10 minute walk (0.5 miles) to a grocery store, you live in a "food desert".
If you live in the rest of the city, or suburbs, and drive more than a 1 mile to a grocery store, you also live in a "food desert".
If you live out in the sticks and are up to 35 miles from basically any kind of grocery store you DO NOT live in a "food desert".
Make sense?
By the USDA's determination, my home in Carmel is in a food desert, I guess I am a victim.
