"All of us in the food insecurity space know that they're completely irrelevant," said Craig Gundersen, an economics professor at Baylor University, referring to food deserts. He continued,"it's food prices that matter, not food access."from the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that exposing low-income households to the same products and prices as high-income households had no meaningful effects on eating habits.
"I think part of this is how problems compound problems," according to Stacy Dean, deputy under secretary at the USDA."If you are someone who's living in poverty and has a very low income, you might be living in a neighborhood that doesn't have great access to high-quality grocery stores. So, they are a little bit mutually reinforcing. But to me, it's the economics and the income that are the biggest drivers.
