A 'food desert' is a place where healthy food isn't available near civilization. Food deserts are a giant problem all over the world. About 23.5 million people live in food deserts, and half of them don't make much money. That's a LOT of people! I am interested in this issue because it is pretty major. This issue has been going on for a long time, and we can do more to help then we are currently doing. People who are affected by a food desert might either not have enough food around them, or not have any healthy food at all. This makes them be forced to live a non-healthy life, which can affect them majorly. We should care about this issue because food deserts are all around us, and we can do a lot more than we are to help fix them. Simply opening a store close to them with healthy food for a reasonable price would help out a lot. We could have people trucking food to that location at least once a week to keep the people there supplied with enough healthy food to live happily. Even you can help, from your house just by donating to some fundraiser for food deserts. Their are most likely some online fundraisers for this, or you could even start your own to help!

Great Points and ideas! However, I'd reccomend giving some examples of this situation like where they are located and i think that would improve your post a bit more. Great Job!

I really think that your blog was good, but I think that you could "spice" the blog up if you added an example of a food desert that is close by.
