A lot of smaller places only have like two options for going out to eat and one is a subway attached to a gas station

Food deserts are real, and they show you real fast how exploitable you can be.

Food deserts are real, and they show how onerous overregulation is.

All of the identical “I live in a food desert” comments here should be opportunities for entrepreneurship, but the costs of legally operating a food business are too damned high.

You are right to a degree.

I actually think it's insane that to get started with a business these days you have to jump through so many hoops you need your own legal department or to do it illegally and hope the slap on the wrist is gentle.

Its in line with the monopolies using regulation and the idea that society will just be better with the restrictions to protect everyone that misses the point.

Advanced food storage and practices and tools will do a lot of making things better and OSHA should absolutely exist and be staffed but walls need to be shorter to inspire new entries into the marketplace without them being rich enough to jump it but without inspiration or hope to be competitive. Its why post war rebuilda are so popular for startups in the worst way.

But food deserts won't just be fixed by a new sandwich shop if there still isn't cheap ingredients.

I don't think that's regulation bud that's monopolies
