A food desert is an area that has limited access to fresh or healthy foods. Southeast Raleigh is a food desert. People live miles away from grocery stores, and have no cars to drive themselves there. They have to resort to walking, using the loooong bus rides, or simply eating at McDonald's everyday. People are affected by this issue b not having food. Unhealthy food leads to an unhealthy life.
I am interested in this issue because I think everyone should have access to healthy food options. Other people should care about the issue for the same reasons. This issue can be helped by growing food, building more grocery stores, having a weekly farmers market, a food truck that "serves" healthy foods. Solving this issue could help the lives of many people.
