Food desert
Hi! I saw that you were editing the article on food deserts, which makes me very happy because it's an issue that needs more people to acknowledge that it exists in general, so someone editing this shows that there's at least one more person who is seeing it. I think that it's a good idea to specify what exactly makes a food desert urban, so I'm glad that you started on a section about this. Just make sure, however, that the content isn't ultimately redundant to what's already stated in the article earlier. For example, right now it states that food deserts are an issue in urban areas and that low income families are especially at risk, however this is content that's already stated earlier in the article. This needs to be expanded to focus on things that are more urban specific that aren't already in the article. For example, look for sources that explicitly answer questions like these:


 * What makes a food desert an urban food desert?
 * Are there any statistics that are unique to urban food deserts?
 * How does it differ from other food deserts?
 * Are there any major differences for urban food deserts in various countries or continents? IE, do people in India, the UK, or South America face different experiences with urban food deserts in their country?

I look forward to seeing your continued work on the article! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
