The term "food deserts" is used to describe areas where residents have limited access to affordable and nutritious food options. These areas often lack large grocery stores and instead rely on convenience stores and fast food outlets which tend to offer less healthy choices. This is especially problematic in low-income and minority communities, where residents may already face barriers to accessing healthcare and other resources necessary for leading healthy lives.
