I’ve heard this term a couple of time but never actually looked into it, and it is such an alien concept to me right now. I apologise in advance for sounding dumb here.
I can understand slums and favelas having a harder time getting access to fresh food, but how come entire government-recognised and incorporated neighbourhoods with electricity, water and all those more complex services can’t have small grocery stores for basic healthy things like rice?
If you want to shock someone while talking about the KKK, tell them about the PATCON (patriot conspiracy) operation where the FBI infiltrated far right groups and instead of trying to sow division or shut them down, they used it as a way to covertly fund them.
