Summary & Use: The title for this source is “ Food costs, diet quality, and energy balance in the United States.” Which is exactly what the whole text is about. The main topic for this source is about how your income relates to what you can purchase, healthy or junk food. It also talks about “food deserts”; which is when you have limited access to affordable nutritious food. This paper goes on to argue that most Americans need to improve the way they are eating, and unfortunately can’t do so when the good food is too expensive. I will use this source in my paper to focus on the problem of “food deserts”. I will try to do my best an answer how and why “food deserts” come into existence. I will also focus on trying find a solution to “food deserts”, and how the government plays an important role in doing so. With this source I then use it to explain the reason as to why people tend to eat more unhealthy food than healthy foods.
