Default USDA publication on "food deserts"

Not ice cream sundaes and panna cotta desserts, but arid lifeless
deserts -- places where the only place to buy something to eat is a
quick shop that specializes in beer and cigarettes.

Fun fact: 33% of people living in low income areas also live more than
a mile from a supermarket.
