I know I can’t assume that which is why I said there are people without cars. The parent post listed foods like rice, beans, and frozen veg all of which have long shelf life. If you swap canned veg for the frozen, you don’t even need refrigeration. That means you don’t need more than a weekly trip to the grocery store. If you do have a car, the extra 10 minutes of travel time isn’t that much. Once you bring time and overworked parents into the picture things look different. It’s certainly a lot easier from a time perspective to grab food from McDonald’s or other unhealthy ultraprocessed foods that don’t need any cooking or prep work at all. But that has little to do with the “food desert” concept since it affects you no matter how close the grocery store is.
