It refers to locations where at least 1/3 of the population according to census live farther than 1 mile from fresh produce and whole foods. 10 miles if it's a rural area. As to why the grocery stores failed and pulled out, that's a good question.
It's the type of location where someone might actually bitch about the cost to feed a family of four at a fast food joint to bring it back around again. |
Look, I already understand what you mean by living far away from grocery stores. I just question how do "few restaurants" are profitable in certain area where not even a single grocery store could be profitable. It does not make any sense.
Ok you have rural area and 50 people living there so no grocery store there. But how come "few restaurants" are there?
