A few thoughts: * I'm surprised you only have to be 10 miles from a Supermarket to be considered a food desert. I would get this in a populated area, but in a rural town of barely over 1000, it seems expected that you might drive a ways. Hell, in many rural areas you might drive a mile or two to even be on a main road! They do specifically mention "a rural area 10 miles.." which probably means in a city the distance to qualify as a food desert would be much smaller, which makes sense. * I wonder why they didn't bother verifying pay at the chicken plant. If the workers say they make $8.50 an hour and the employer says the minimum pay is $11.50, it seems like a quick glance at a paystub is all it would take to validate the story rather than just throw up your arms and say "well, some people disagree". Though I imagine the most likely cause is the latinos are undocumented and hence being paid under the table. * Sounds like the 20-30mi roundtrip drive to Bentonville is costly in terms of gas money (not to mention time!), but I was stunned that the employee talked about how many of the customers were in the Dollar General store 3-4 times a day (!!)
