I don't think you're using the term "food desert" properly like you think you are. In the suburbs, it's expected that you'll get to your local grocery store and find healthy foods available at reasonable prices. In a food dessert, your local 15 grocery stores/bodegas/whatever you all them, won't have access to healthy foods. You might see a banana, or something, and it'll cost 4x what it would cost at a regular grocey store, hence there's an affordability aspect, to it, too.
