Millions of people around the world live in deserts and the vast majority live in cities and towns where they can purchase almost any food they want at markets, stores and restaurants. I live in a city in the Chihuahuan Desert and my home is a half mile from a Wal*Mart SuperCenter where I can purchase all the food I need. There are also several fast food restaurants and other dining establishments within walking distance of my home.
