In today's time, there are many issues in N.C., however, one of those issues are the food deserts across the state. Many places that are either majorly underpopulated or overpopulated, don't have a store where they can get healthy foods and are forced to eat at unhealthy places. I am interested in this issue because many people are not able to eat healthy and it is always important to stay healthy and eat healthy. Many people in downtown Raleigh are affected by this because they don’t have any transportation to get to good grocery stores such as Harris Teeter or Whole Foods. This is important to you because you may live in a food desert, next to one, or have a relative that is in one and it's always good to help out in your community. If you want to help out with people that live in these areas, go to a Food Drive, or participate in Stop Hunger Now, or go to a Food Bank. It doesn't matter how you help, but it is important for everyone that you do help. What do you think you should do to help with food deserts in your community? Do you have a plan to help out in your community? If so, what is it?

I really enjoyed learning about food deserts and how it can effect the community, but i think you could add more of what we could do to help these food deserts.
