The food desert problem is likely a bigger issue than mark up when it comes to government grocers.

If there was more buying power in poor areas you'd have more retailers.
If you really want the government more involved in people's choices you could give out vouchers/debit cards that can only be used on bureaucratically approved healthy foods. That would stimulate demand for them in poor areas and incrntivize new retailers.
