5 things i learned about America's food industry

#1 Urban food desserts- Urban food desserts are are foods that are foods that is located in different cities for example the Bronx witch can also be called a urban city. An area of a city (neighborhood) has to find fresh fruits and vegetables and most of the neighborhoods had limited supermarkets, these neighborhoods contain places that have junk food, fast food and can goods, processed foods.


#2 obesity in the south Bronx- obesity and overweight are common in residents of all ages in the south Bronx. nearly 1 in 3 children in head start programs are obese, and almost half are over weight or obese.


#3 the lost supermarket- super market closings mot confined to poor neighborhoods result from rising rents and slim profit margins, among other cases. many people were forced to ride buses or take cabs to the closets supermarkets in some various areas.


#4 Three million new yorkers live in neighborhoods with few fresh food options. traditional groceries and supermarkets have shut down. to be replaced by fast food and drug store chains.


#5 I also learned that when trucks drop off food and feces they are polluting the atmosphere and the air pollution is not good for the kids and babies of the neighborhoods. Also supermarkets are going out of business because people don't want to but healthy food, they just want to go spend money at fast food restaurants.
