SOC120 SOC/120 SOC 120 Week 4 Discussion 2/dq 2 Food Justice-Food Deserts {{latest}} The purpose of this
discussion is to offer you the opportunity to debate the issue of food justice and food deserts. Food deserts are a
significant issue in poorer neighborhoods in the United States. In many of these neighborhoods, the only access to food
is through a local convenience store or a fast food restaurant. This severely limits the options for the poor to have
access to fresh and wholesome food and has been evidenced as a key reason for the obesity epidemic in the United
States. This issue is encompassed in the overarching topic of food justice, which highlights the issue of food deserts as
well as public access to genetically modified foods, organic foods, and the issues of equal access for positive food
options in light of public health and social inequality. Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:
Read the Hilmers article assigned this week. Assume that your town is a food desert and you would like to do
something about it. Prepare an evidenced argument to present to your local town council that outlines an idea to offer
healthy food options to your town. Use at least one ethical theory or perspective to support the moral or ethical
reasoning for why this program should be implemented.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s)
and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Respond to at least two of your classmates posts by Day 7.
