They're not bothered that a cookie is the HEALTHIEST thing some people can buy with a food stamp where they live. #FoodDeserts

Little Rock’s #MobileMarket will launch soon-kudos to all involved, esp Barrett Allen & UDDC at UALR. Thx to Rep. Tippi McCullough & former Gov. Asa Hutchinson-this dream started years ago in a mtg in governor’s office. Hope this is first of many in our state! #fooddeserts

Why Should We Allow Food Monopolies? Let’s Bust The System! Massive retail chains like Walmart, Kroger, and Dollar Store have crushed thousands of local grocers. This has left millions of Americans living in “food deserts.”

Walmart, Kroger, and Dollar Store didn't beat local grocers through competition. They bought politicians to rig the rules.

Millions of us now live in food deserts. The antitrust law to fix it is still on the books—we just stopped enforcing it in 1980.

Thank you @hpsc24.bsky.social for getting it back in 2020. As one of the millions you describe in your video, I personally appreciated your highlighting the importance of being able to accommodate food sensitivities through expanding the SNAP program. 🥹 #FoodJustice #FoodDeserts #FoodSensitivities

RFK Jr.'s new food pyramid puts meat, cheese and vegetables at the top Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced new dietary guidelines for Americans focused on promoting whole foods, healthy proteins and fats. And he has "declare[d] war" on added sugar.

So how does this address the cost of red meat, cheeses (Kraft Singles don't count--not "cheese") and the availability of fresh produce to the millions of lower income families that live in #FoodDeserts? www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

'Mobile Grocery Stores' in our food deserts. As governor of South Carolina, I would advocate for a program to not leave one South Carolinian behind. People still need access to essentials.

And where are folks supposed to buy “healthy” food? Huge swaths of cities and rural counties are USDA-mapped low-income, low-access areas. No car, no nearby grocer, no fresh options. Food deserts aren’t vibes...they’re policy. #FoodDeserts

Food deserts are policy-made hunger.

How close is your nearest full-service grocery store?

Comment:
1 = Less than 1 mile
2 = 1–5 miles
3 = 5–10 miles
4 = 10+ miles

USDA says: if it’s over 1 mile in urban areas, or 10 miles rural, it’s a food desert. #FoodDeserts #Raíces

I think it's because there is a lack of availbility of non ultra processed foods.

#FoodDeserts were a familiar term to me, but #FoodSwamps were not. In essence, these are areas where there's a lack of fresh, quality food and an abundance of low-nutrition-value foods (high-processed/fast foods). The podcast episode linked above discusses food deserts + reasons they've emerged.

Discovered this, from @99pi.org, through a recent @civileats.com salon, during which a convo sprang up about what constituted a #FoodSwamp. This, of course, led us to talking about #FoodDeserts, which also brought up an interesting convo about #FoodApartheid. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/634-...
