Environmental Health

Write a 2–3 page paper discussing food access as an environmental health and an environmental justice issue. For your information, you can look at the United States Department of Agriculture food access map (http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-access-research-atlas/go-to-the-atlas.aspx). Please define food desert, discuss why food deserts exist, the health implications of food deserts, and suggestions to alleviate this environmental health issue.
