CNN Reports on "Making groceries" in a New Orleans food desert.

4/5/2011

This video shows a great example of what is going on with access to fresh, healthy food in many New Orleans neighborhoods. As a matter of fact, this particular report shows how difficult it can be to access any food in certain areas. In some parts of the city grocery stores are few and far between. In others they are simply non-existent. People have been waiting for years for grocery stores to return to their neighborhoods, and they have no guarantee that their waiting is not going to be in vain. So what options do these people have? They can purchase a few canned goods and some cereal at a corner store. They can walk two miles to the nearest suburban Wal-Mart to make (purchase) groceries. They can get a ride when a friend has time to bring them to the store. They can catch a cab to the store and back, spending money on transportation that may have otherwise been spent on food. How can people in these neighborhoods afford to get some of the freshest, healthiest produce available? We suggest growing as much as they can in the space they have available.
