- Description/Excerpt: An analysis by the Pioneer Press shows that Davis lives in what health experts have called a 'food desert' - an urban area with few supermarkets and, therefore, limited access to cheap, healthful food.
It may be common knowledge that urban areas don't have the quality or quantity of food stores enjoyed by suburbs. But the grocery gap has become a chasm that is alarming experts and shoppers alike - food deserts now engulf one-third of St. Paul and more than half of Minneapolis neighborhoods.
