The United States is currently battling against an inequality in the access to sufficient and healthy
choices in food. The result is a difference in the nutritional well being of individuals, in particular those of low
income status, as well as within communities. This imbalance in the distribution of food and inaccessibility to
grocery stores affect an individual’s ability to obtain and have time to prepare healthy foods. The problem
stems from a lack of transportation and scarce grocery locations, coupled with socio-economic factors such as
the cost of food and income levels. The populations at risk for falling prey to this food imbalance are the low
income minority groups living in the underserved areas of the country. Such is the nationally recognized
problem that it can be experienced in our own backyards.
