Okay, I'm a little depressed now. I knew about food deserts, and you got me wanting to look up some information on it for Virginia. I live in a what the USDA considers a food desert. Now, this is primarily just based on grocery stores and everything so it's not like in more urban areas, but I was looking at the numbers in a report and I'm just shocked. 37.3% of my city is SNAP eligible. more than 4 times the average for the Commonwealth as a whole. I'm just taken aback.
