The program is being promoted by the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and is described in a video on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/blog\/2010\/02\/24\/taking-food-deserts\" target=\"_blank\">White House<\/a> web site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As part of Lets Move!, the campaign to end childhood obesity, First Lady Michelle Obama is taking on food deserts.  These are nutritional wastelands that exist across America in both urban and rural communities where parents and children simply do not have access to a supermarket.  Some 23.5 million Americans \u2013 including 6.5 million children \u2013 currently live in food deserts.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What the Fox Nationalists portray as a <em>&#8220;scam&#8221;<\/em> is actually a troubling reality for many Americans who have little or no access to affordable, healthy foods. Consequently they have to rely on fast food, junk food, and over-priced convenience stores.<\/p>\n<p>The response to this problem by visitors to Fox Nation is blood-curdling bigotry aimed at the First Lady and the under-privileged consumers she is striving to help. Here is a short sampling of their repulsiveness (<a href=\"\/Caps\/foxnation-food-desert2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">link to screen capture<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>I see that her intelligence matches her looks.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<em>Do you think this commenter regards her as ugly because of her race?<\/em><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>And you know why these &#8220;Food Deserts&#8221; exist? Because of the high crime, shrinkage&#8217; (shoplifting) and fraudulent, frivolous lawsuits brought against them in these &#8216;inner-city&#8217; ghettos. Large supermarket chains aren&#8217;t willing to take the risks involved with opening a store in these ghettos.
