I have heard about food deserts, and also about lack of mixed development / zoning in the US. But both of these phenomenons are very alien to me, maybe that's why I cannot really understand how one would not be able to get hold of veggies or what other dieatary restrictions this can impose on a person. I don't know much about public transport in the US, but can understand that depending on circumstances, it could be very hard to transport large quantities of food. Also, some people cannot reliably afford public transport in the first place.
