The Food Desert Locator is an online map that shows areas through out the United States where, the USDA says, low-income families have little or no access to "healthy fresh foods."
But no need to fear because after the USDA discovered this, they show you how they took 10 million people off the "food desert" chart in a short period of time. They do it so well that magician Criss Angel might have missed the slight of hand.
