Another report to share with food communities as an indicator of the positive changes we can make if we can embed our initiatives in neighborhoods.
“After you pass Seattle, ranked 13th with just 31 percent access, no other city in the U.S. cracks 30 percent, and the bottom 22 cities of the U.S. top 50 by population all have 10 percent or fewer residents within a five-minute walk to the store.
The numbers paint a picture of a dramatically divided nation, one in which even residents of the nation’s largest cities rarely have quick access via active transportation to the ingredients for fresh and healthy meals.
It’s just one more way of measuring how development defines our lives and our choices in ways that we are only beginning to understand.”
