Reference no: EM133229463

Question: Obesity is thriving in America and has become a health issue caused by many factors. One of these factors is living in a geographic location where people cannot access fresh foods. These areas are referred to as "food deserts." Food deserts are highly concentrated areas with fast food restaurants and convenience stores, but no supermarkets or grocery stores with fresh food options within a reasonable distance from one's home. This lack of accessibility to fresh foods contributes to poor dietary choices for over 23 million people who live in food desert areas in the U.S. alone.
