Can you combine the two? Like places you go that are food deserts (because nothing is much available) but what it is available is all high calorie / processed fast food?

I think that's what they did? Like, swamps were a combination of high amounts of bad food and low amounts of good food. Unless I'm reading this wrong

Yes i remember seeing that research awhile ago. I keep joking that the 45 & Up Study is the gift that keeps on giving but seriously it is an amazing body of research. Ping
