Luckily I had parents who went out of their way to drive to natural food stores so that we could eat healthy foods. But one does see it mainly in ethinic minority areas where many health issues such as obesity, heart problems and high blood pressure are combined with lack of exercise due to a lack of there being a safe space to go out and walk or run. Processed Junk food + Stationary living= a recipe for disaster. It’s an epidemic!
