Welcome to the Food Desert Website
Feeling hungry? No proper food in the house? Can't face that trek to the shops? Tempted by a burger and some chips from the local takeaway, or a chocolate bar, but it's not really healthy, is it? You may be living in a food desert. The food desert website tells you all about food deserts, why they affect everybody, the links to globalisation and social exclusion, and how the effects of food deserts may be alleviated or eliminated.

Note, i)
Because there is a �day zero�, day period lengths before/after 8 May 1945 can
be calculated by simple subtraction ii) Because day zero was a Tuesday, all
Tuesdays must have a number divisible by 7 iii) The Gregorian Calendar is used
from 1752, date of adoption in Britain. The Julian calendar is used from date
of inception, 44 BCE. Day/dates before 44 BCE are calculated using a notional
Gregorian calendar.
