Plant-Based food is available at any grocery store that carries fresh produce, canned goods, frozen foods, and bagged/boxed whole grains. Most of us have easy access to such grocery stores, but some folks do not. Areas where residents do not have access to fresh, affordable, healthful food are called FOOD DESERTS. We are surrounded by them in urban as well as rural areas.
Marc Steiner addresses the issue of food deserts in a conversation with Joyce Smith of southwest Baltimore
in this segment from his March 1 show on NPR.
