Food Deserts & Healthy Food Access

Food deserts are geographic areas of the country where access to affordable, healthy food options can be difficult or impossible due to the absence of grocery stores within a reasonable traveling distance. While unhealthy eating may be cheaper or more convenient in the short term, there are consequences of long-term, constrained access to healthy foods. These are the main reasons ethnic minority and low-income populations suffer from statistically higher rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diet-related conditions than the general population.
