every-inch-but-one:
can someone point me in the direction of writing on this? Because none of the food deserts I’ve ever been in had anything like what this seems to be implying. Not to mention the fact that grocery stores supply more than just things that can be gardened, like milk, cheese, meat, etc.

Queensland state elections. They’re they best.
The only thing better than a 3 tiered approach, is candidates competing about who thought of it first, is genuinely better at it etc.

Remember HIV/AIDS? It’s Still Raging in the U.S. →
