Re Food Deserts:
There is nothing "great" about that map, unless "great" now means incorrect - particularly with regard to inside the beltway PG. Google "store locator" plus your favorite local supermarket: the result is that there are real live grocery stores (Giant, Shopppers, Safeway, etc.) located within those sad pink USDA deserts. I've actually lived in some of those "deserts" and regularly walked to the Safeway next door to my apartment complex. Not quite sure what USDA was trying to show here, but the implication of inaccessibility to food is way off base.
