Topic
The topic we are adressing is the on-going social justice issue of food deserts. Food deserts are defined as “an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food”.Communities with food deserts often have people of color. Due to the fact the people in these communities don't have access to Fresh Foods they often get health issues like cancer and diabetes. In order for these people to gain access to Fresh Foods, they have to travel a great distance. This is a social justice issue because everyone everywhere deserves the right to have access to Fresh Food. Not being able to have access to fresh because of your skin tone or because the place you live is a social justice issue than needs to be solved.
