By: Jadorah St. Leger What is an urban food desert? An urban food desert may sound, like something empty , but it actually isn?t. It is a urban area where there are many stores and accessible goods. But they lack healthy foods, such as vegetables and a supermarket in close radius. Urban food deserts can hurt us in many ways. One is that it interferes with our health. For example, instead of going way out of our neighborhood to get fresh greens, we rather stay in the neighborhood and eat at the nearest McDonalds. By that it can lead to many health problems such as obesity. The best choice for us is to start building more vegetable gardens. Even more fruit trees can be planted and more edible gardens can be put in place.
