You live in a food desert, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, if the closest grocery store is at least one mile away — it's 10 miles in rural areas — and 20 percent of the residents in your census tract live at or below the federal poverty line, which is $22,350 for a family of four.

There used to be a string of stores around here called 'Stop 'n Go' - then they got bought out and became large Valero 'Corner Stores'. You probably know about '7 Eleven' and the old 'Circle K'. [image: Inline image 1] Many of the older smaller stores around here got bought up by Pakistanis or

Richard, I've been thinking about this concept of food deserts since you first posted it. I think we have an oasis here in FF! I could definitely walk to our local health food store though it would take about 15 to 20 minutes. There is another one on campus just outside the women's Dome so

Richard first mentioned the food deserts concept on Tuesday. It took you until today, Saturday, to decide that Fairfield was a food oasis? It's funny, because even though I don't live in Fairfield, it would have taken me about two seconds to figure out it was a food oasis. Share wrote:

I decided to check out the FF food scene, using Yelp. This set of reviews is hilarious: Thai Deli 120 West Broadway Fairfield, IA Review from Mango D., Las Vegas, NV 9/16/2006 5.0 star rating This stuff is like crack when we come to town. Make sure you come in when it is fresh.

I love these. Yelp is often the lowest common denominator, which is not always a bad thing. I think it's good for those who consider themselves above the masses to find out what the masses think of them and their taste. You should see some of the reviews of some of the supposedly swanky places to

You really made the TMers in Fairfield look stupid today, with their 'Immortality' courses', although you fibbed about it, good work! Did anyone notice that Barry didn't deny he was living in a food desert most of the time? Why do you think he spends so much time in cafes instead of at

Well Richard there are some nifty cafes too in FF: Revelations, Cafe Paradiso and 2nd St. Cafe, just to name a few. Plus the Iowa grocery chain Hy Vee has a pretty good health food section in its FF store. I think it would take me close to thirty minutes to get there on foot and the route is

Especially when we have some VERY GOOD Thai restaurants in the SF Bay Area. And I think a lot of Thai restaurants seem to use family recipes so you can have a little difference between places. I found Indian restaurant so-so in Fairfield and I also ate at a California style pasta restaurant
