Food Deserts in Minority Communities

My article from Jones Hopkins Research Magazine http://hub.jhu.edu/magazine/2014/spring/racial-food-deserts/ called "Research Shows Food Deserts More Abundant in Minority Neighborhood", by Kelly Bower talking about how food deserts are more likely to be present in a minority community then a community like Beverly Hills for example. Kelly Bower is an assistant professor at a school of nursing and she compared the neighborhoods of a majority Caucasian to a minority neighborhood and she found that there are more food deserts in the minority community. A food desert is an area that lacks access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. Bower found that it was easier to get access to fast food restaurants, liquor stores, and 7-elevens. Which is really unfortunate because with a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables come a lot of health issues. Like obesity, diabetes, hypertension in early ages of those peoples lives. Therefore people who live in those communities are stuck between a rock and a hard place on choosing to eat health and a little expensive or choice to eat cheap and unhealthy to ensure they can have a meal every single day. I personally think that it is really sad that people really have to make decisions like that. It turn eating and food in chore. I think the really question is when are things going to change? When will fresh fruits and vegetables be easier to get then a Mc.Donald's cheeseburger?
