Interesting. I was initially surprised by the largest food desert in my city of residence, thinking, "that's where almost every restaurant in the city is located; my wife and I regularly shop at the Trader Joe's (upper-middle-class discount grocery store) there." But this only highlighted my blindness -- almost all of these restaurants target upper-middle class consumers, not low-income; and the only other grocery store in the area is on the wrong side of a busy highway. The only food sources targeted at low-income consumers that I know of are a few corner stores on the main thoroughfare.
