The term is unethical.
Oh, please.
Yet one more story where a rich liberal author regrets “food deserts.”
This author (that probably resides in a gated neighborhood not much from a Whole Foods and a Sprouts) believes there is such a thing as a “food desert.”
Provide me a break.
What is a “food desert?”
A “food desert” is supposedly a community where you can’t get food, because there are no grocery store.
It likewise indicates that this is deliberately. The term “food desert” suggests that there is a conspiracy to keep grocery store out of certain areas. And this simply isn’t real.
The term “food desert” is dishonest.
We have to constantly watch for fake disagreements and misleading language. We need to recognize the elements of disagreement to ensure we are not being deceived by rational fallacies such as the red herring and the straw guy.
The term “food desert” relies upon a false debate called an “attract feeling.” However you have to pay very close attention to capture it.
The expression makes use of the evocative images of the desert- an area deprived of water where nothing expands. In a desert, it is difficult for anything to grow.
