Food Deserts with Taylor Jennings

Food Deserts are an area inside of a community where fresh foods and or grocery stores are not available. These areas are in rural and urban low-income areas. The main sources of food within food deserts or food insecure communities rely on the inventory of small convenient stores, gas stations, and fast food restaurants. This is unfortunate, however there are economic obligations that do not permit large chain grocery stores to be built in lower income areas. Issues of income, crime, and lifestyle may contribute to the success or lack of success with a large chain store. In my paper I go more in depth on the socio-economic issues that surrounds the reasoning behind what makes sense financially for certain communities. The issues that circle around food deserts are nutrition related health concerns like childhood and adulthood obesity and type -2 diabetes. Several organizations have been created with the intent to solve this issue. At the end I proposed a non-profit that recognized the obstacles and shortcomings in previous organizations, focusing on culture, preference, and lifestyle.
