| Bringing Healthy Foods Home: Examining Inequalities in Access to Food Stores |
|
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Eating Research program developed this policy brief about the inequality of food access. Families and children from low-income communities and racial/ethnic minority backgrounds are less likely to have diets that meet nutrition guidelines for good health and are more likely to be obese. Inequalities in access to stores that stock healthy foods may contribute to these disparities. Understanding the possible connections among access to healthy food, what families prepare and eat at home, and obesity can point toward potential environmental and policy solutions.
