Why or why not? en-us 2016-12-01 18:02:25 UTC 2025-12-09 14:37:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/fx5f43g9itqt/wish/141630646 Poor people can access healthier foods by going to corner stores with produce and/or going to local greenhouses where produce can be grown, as shown in the documentary. However, even if they have access to these resources, they may not be able to afford fresh ingredients, so in that way it can be seen as elitist and idealistic. However, if government action is taken to lower prices of locally grown fresh produce, then there will be a substantial change in the health demographics of that community.]]> 2016-12-04 22:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/fx5f43g9itqt/wish/141630646 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/fx5f43g9itqt/wish/142180967 Poor people can access a healthier diet by becoming apart of community farms or by planting healthy foods and vegetables in their own backyards. In madison there are two community farms and they are free to be apart of. This being said, I do think the local food movement is more catered to wealthier or middle class people but not necessarily elitist. Organic produce and healthy foods are more expensive than their GMO'd counterparts, but there is nothing preventing lower class families from buying them other than this

The only way to allow these people to get a real healthy diet would be to find a cheap way to make sustainable fresh healthy food and lean away from factory farms]]> 2016-12-07 12:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/fx5f43g9itqt/wish/142257887
