I have and it's fucking easy, because deserts are nature and in nature you can just pick shit you need. You can't do that in a food desert, because some overly enthusiastic wannabe fascist will boot you down for shoplifting and throw you to jail for some forced labour so the US economy doesn't fall.

I didn't design their economy nor do I live in it. I'm very capable of surviving in the wild where I live. I just don't need to. I would much rather do that. And build my own house. Unfortunately we have something called "building regulations" so I'm not allowed to construct weird stick-tents like you, so you know, I'll actually have to pay a person for the materials.

According to the USDA's most recent report on food access, as of 2017, approximately 39.5 million people - 12.9% of the US population - lived in low-income and low food access

And if you're using terms like "privileged gringo" you're probably from the Southside of the US southern border.

Meaning you're likely Mexican (or not, but it's not a bad likelihood). But you don't acknowledge this as an issue?

As a result, people of low Socio economic status (SES) ultimately spend up to 37% more on their food purchases.[33]

a study on urban food environments, participants described the lack of supermarkets as a "practical impediment to healthful food purchase and a symbol of their neighborhoods' social and economic struggles".[41] Health outcomes edit

There are diet and health implications for those who live in areas where nutritious food is not readily available; some claims, such as linking food deserts with obesity in children, are disputed.[21][22][42]

A summary report by The Colorado Health Foundation concluded that individuals with access to supermarkets tend to have healthier diets and a lower risk of chronic disease such as diabetes.[43] Food deserts are correlated with many poor health outcomes. Other studies find a link between better access to supermarkets and lowered risk of obesity. As well, better access to convenience stores is associated with a higher risk of obesity.[17]
