Environmental Apartheid, pt. 2 - Food Apartheid, explained

The Environmental Justice Lab

We are talking about food apartheid. The fact that some people in some places have more food choices that they need, while others have no good food choices at all. And it’s not an accident. Decisions are being made that keep healthy foods in some neighborhoods and keeps them out of other neighborhoods. It’s not right.

So let’s get into it on this episode of the Environmental Justice Lab.
