It's apparent that organic food of the utmost variety is going to be seen and I have to believe that many areas are going to clamor for it. However, this is not the case and this is especially true in areas which have lower income than others. It's unfortunate that they aren't able to attain these natural products but what can be done in order to help the matter? After taking the time to read an article in the Los Angeles Times, it seems like there is work being done on the matter.
The article in question talked about Compton in particular and it seems like there isn't a great amount of fresh food to be seen. In fact, people within that particular location would have to drive miles and miles before they found a market with substantial crops to be seen. The truth of the matter is that markets in Compton typically have items which have been spoiled, which impacts not only their flavor but nutrition as well. Shouldn't everyone have access to these particular items?
It seems like there are many different authorities that can help the matter, Colle Farmers Market included amongst them. It's apparent that they know a tremendous amount about organic food and how important they are in terms of the world in general. To say that this is the kind of subject that should be looked into with greater detail is nothing short of an understatement. Consumers may have to go about traveling miles out of the way, which shouldn't have to be done in actuality.
What came across as surprising, to me, was that the article called Compton a "food desert." It's rather surprising to hear a term like that but I feel like it's very telling, considering that there aren't many substantial crops in the area. Yes, these individuals have to deal with lower amounts of income but I feel as though this is no excuse. If anything, I think that it serves more as a matter for people to bring these crops to areas which wouldn't have had them otherwise.
People who have brought organic food into their diets in the past will most likely be able to bring attention to all of the various aspects tied into them. There are many nutrients to take into account and each of them are needed for the sake of making crops stand out that much more. Why should there be certain groups that seem to attain these items better than others? To me, they are ones that everyone should benefit from, lower incomes or not.
