Does everyone have access to healthy food??

With the growing rate of obesity and other health related issues in the United States, more and more politicians are battling with these main food industries to tackle these glaring health problems of our country. We often talk about the thought of gaining environmental justice, especially in terms access to good, healthy food. You would think that everyone would be entitled to not only good, but healthy food, unfortunately, there are pockets of areas with low income, and high poverty rates who do not have immediate or nearby access to healthy foods.These tiny pockets are called food deserts. These food deserts can be combated, with more public gardens, persistent activism, and an increase of government incentives on food industries.
