The Food Desert Myth
Manage episode 289846866 series 2816013
The Docs have a conversation about food deserts and how access to affordable healthy food options makes a difference for the health of our communities inspired by an article in "Eating Well". Food deserts are regions where people have limited access to healthful and affordable food. This may be due to having a low income or having to travel farther to find healthful food options. However, research has shown that proximity to a grocery store is not the same as access to affordable food options.
This is a trend we have seen in many areas, such as access to medical care and prescriptions, or education. Creating access to resources is more than placing an institution or a store in a neighborhood, but really looking at the needs of that neighborhood and determining how best to serve it.
