New York times on food desert myth
But even IF it were true that food deserts exist, studies show that PROXIMITY to stores that sell produce DO NOT affect obesity rates .
quote:
Dr. Sturm [lead author of the Rand study] found no relationship between what type of food students said they ate, what they weighed, and the type of food within a mile and a half of their homes. He has also completed a national study of middle school students, with the same result — no consistent relationship between what the students ate and the type of food nearby.
Living close to supermarkets or grocers did not make students thin and living close to fast food outlets did not make them fat.

Can you provide one of these peer-reviewed studies? Not needling you, I just don't have the time to do a lit review this week.
