When Healthy Ain't Handy
from Invitation to the Cookout · host Cookout Entertainment
What happens when the cookout menu can’t even get started because the neighborhood grocery store doesn’t exist? In this episode, DapperDom and TheeAlexMac break down the reality of food deserts — communities where fresh fruit, produce, and meat is hard to find but fast food and convenience stores are everywhere. We’ll dig into how food deserts became prevalent, how they shaped our eating habits and health, and the lingering affects they have on us today as we try to come up with some solutions to combat this reality. Pull up a chair — this is about more than food, it’s about equity at the table.
