Thanks for a bit of good news, Sherman A1! I've been researching food deserts for quite awhile. I'm not in MO (my son and DIL just moved there, though), I'm a Chicago transplant to AZ.

It's a horrible situation for inner city and rural families with few willing to address, or even acknowledge, the long term effects on young people.

Thanks again! I'm going to read up on this company and see if they're planning on doing more. Until I win the lottery, I can only depend on courageous and progressive companies like this.
