What is a Food Desert, and How Can We Fix Them?

There were times growing up when my family had a rough time finding healthy food. We were one of those families that seemed to slingshot from being okay financially to scraping the bottom of the barrel for spare change. There were times when I was a little when the only vegetables I saw were the ones my grandmother had growing in the backyard. It was mostly just tomatoes. Which was fine by me, I freaking love tomatoes. The kind of food you think of as a treat can be really different depending on what you eat growing up. I crave salad sometimes, crunching on lettuce and spinach and the brine of black olives… things I didn’t get much of when I was small. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/what-is-a-food-desert-and-how-can-we-fix-them-0df8fb13146d">Visit Now</a>
