In class on Friday we read an article about "Can America's Urban Food Deserts Bloom?" & also watched a video called "Food Deserts". The video talked about supermarkets in neighborhoods where people dont have access to fresh & healthy food. A food desert is a supermarket that sell's freash food in an area that people dont have access to close/ freash food. Obesity among Americans overall increased to 16.3% in 2006 because Americans arent eating the right things. Some 28% of non-Hospanic black females between the ages 12 & 19 are obese because there arent people around to show them how to eat right & because kids of those ages crave sugar. The problem with food deserts is that people are becoming obese and unhealthy because they arent making the right food choices.
