Abstract

The purpose of this research was to create awareness to one of the many issues that is a prominent in many poor communities and underserved. In my literature, I have identified what it means to lack access to healthy food items, explored why Baltimore City residents lack this access, investigated forms of eradication, and finally attempted to understand how it feels to be someone who lives in a community that lacks adequate access. This research demonstrates how the intersectionality of race and poverty has created unjust circumstances for many communities across America, but specifically this literature focuses on those who reside in Baltimore City.
