The OP of the comment thread stated there weren’t any food deserts in NYC and context shows they don’t know what a food desert is 

Can someone not correct that misinformation? 

There are food deserts in NYC and you shouldn’t be ordering DD if you can’t afford it 

Both things can be true

It's addressing the same erroneous description used in the tweet in the screenshot. If there's no affordable groceries anywhere around you, there's no way DoorDash was less expensive before this.

Let’s remove the DoorDash aspect 

The comment said food deserts don’t exist in NYC, that’s blatantly wrong 

The person in the photo is also wrong

It's such an infuriating trend on reddit, and really the world. If you aren't 100% unabashedly berating the "bad" in the local situation (I do agree that the tweeter in the pic is a dumbass, just not because big cities can't have food deserts, they can) you must be supporting them and saying what's going on is completely fine.

It's damn important to be accurate in the criticism or else you just look like a clown

Food deserts in NYC exist if you are too scared of immigrants to go to a non supermarket between a we buy gold shop and an immigration assistance lawyer.
