A Food desert usually occurs in a low-income or minority community with limited access to low-cost fresh and healthy food options. This is due mainly to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers, resulting in food insecurity. Household food insecurity was related to significantly worse general health, some acute and chronic health problems, and worse health care access, including forgone care and heightened emergency department use, for children. Compared to rates had they not been food insecure, children in food-insecure households had higher rates of lifetime asthma diagnosis and depressive symptoms, which were 19.1% and 27.9% higher, rates of forgone medical care that were 179.8% higher, and rates of emergency department use that were 25.9% higher. This paper explores food deserts, food insecurity, and occurrences of food apartheid and recommends potential solutions.
