Jicama in the 'hood

In poorer neighborhoods, the lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables may be contributing to higher rates of obesity and poorer health. Many poor neighborhoods do not have a supermarket nearby where they can get fresh produce, so residents get used to eating mostly processed food and are limited to less than healthy choices. To top it off, usually these small convenience stores charge higher prices than larger grocery stores. Some people are working to try to change all that.
