    Plus, it’s probably going to go to the food *desert areas first. I dig it.

      Dessert is what you have after a meal. You can help remember this by thinking there are more S’s because you want more dessert.

      Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

          I’ll skip the whipped cream, though.

          Yeah, but genital desert means she’s just not into you.

      that’s exactly the goal of the program.

      there’s something like one grocery store per 1500 residents in new york (far more, per capita, than my entire county).

      many residents have multiple options nearby, but some (around 750,000) do not live within 5 blocks of even just one. those are the neighborhoods this program would target.

      these city-run stores are not intended to serve ‘everybody’, just those who aren’t served by anything.
