Household Income Impact on Nutrition Access

Food Deserts, found within areas of low SES, lack fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthy options, and instead have stores that stock highly processed foods (TBCG, 2019). In the U.S., Florida has the highest rates of food insecurity, obesity, and chronic diseases related to obesity, compared to national data (Wright et al., 2018). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports that 23.5 million Americans live in food deserts, with 1.25 million of those people residing in Florida’s food deserts (Wright et al., 2018). A 2019 study, using 2015 data, found that forty of Jacksonville’s census tracts, out of 173, were Food Deserts (TBCG, 2019).

Weekly Recap: July 25 – 31

This all makes for a very useless blog post, but I've committed. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo though and I'll hopefully... Continue Reading →

Baseball, Museums, and Feeling Good – Weekly Recap: May 23 – 29

Sunday Eric and I went to historic St. Augustine, a not too far away place that we hadn't walked through since Florida was beginning to close up. We had lunch at Florida Cracker Cafe, went to the Lightner Museum and wandered St. George Street. Monday I got a greater occipital nerve block to help with... Continue Reading →

Weekly Recap: May 16 – 22

This week was sort of a blur. Which explains why I try to write these posts as the week progresses. Full week of work, saw my parents Monday, dentist appointment, antique store, and dinner with a friend Thursday, and lots of blogging and watching MTV Catfish throughout. Yesterday came with a Tires Plus and Target... Continue Reading →
