Food Deserts
WHAT ARE FOOD DESERTS?
Food Deserts is an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.
How has the problem impacted the environment?
The problem with food deserts is that teenagers and adults have a high rate of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The reason for this is because of the families having low-incomes and limited access to grocery stores. This problem is worse in certain communities due to the fact many can't afford nutritious food.
