2. Food deserts are located in high-poverty areas, such as sparsely populated run
areas or densely populated, low-income urban centers. Food deserts most ofte
develop when major supermarket chains either relocate out of these areas or simply
refrain from building stores there in the first place. Residents of these areas who do
not have cars are thus forced to travel long distances on public transportation to de
their grocery shopping, or else they are limited to the food available at loca
convenience stores and gas stations. These types of food retailers often only se
packaged, processed foods that offer little nutritional value. Individuals who live i
food deserts tend to get their meals from fast food restaurants or convenience store
and they often suffer from a variety of health issues,
3. Research has found that individuals who live in low-income neighborhoods are much
more likely to develop problems of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension than thos
who live in more affluent neighborhoods. A solution to the problem of food desert
seems obvious: more supermarkets should be built in low income neighborhoods.
