Why are some cities called food deserts?

In densely populated cities, the principle of "it is difficult to agree with others" is particularly obvious.

Even among the causes of each "food desert", the "methods" embodied in each city are different.

The reason why Shanghai is called a food desert is because many netizens think that Shanghai is an "affordable food desert" because many affordable food are hidden in the alleys. It is difficult to find affordable food when you first come to Shanghai. It is difficult to find your favorite fast food without the help of indigenous people.

Beijing’s food desert is due to the changes of the times. Many people feel that although there are many kinds of things produced by the palace, those famous products that were rare in those days are not suitable for modern people’s dietary structure and the health of less oil and less salt. In the face of fashion, it may not be well received.

As for Shenzhen, it may be that the city has a short history and has not developed local specialties. Except for "Hainan Coconut Chicken", there are really only a handful of local cultural characteristics of Shenzhen.

Taken together, these cities do not lack a variety of domestic and foreign delicacies. However, considering the limited urban space and high transportation costs, they can satisfy different taste needs and different consumption levels. , finding delicious food is not an easy task. Letting a city get rid of the title of "food desert" is not only about taste, but also optimizing the layout of the catering industry to make delicious food from all over the country more accessible.
