Food Deserts in Mississippi
The PBS Newshour had a good piece about food deserts in the rural south that began with a visit to a small town in Quitman County, Mississippi. One small grocery store with no fresh vegetables, no other food for twenty miles in any direction (except fast food). The local McDonald's doesn't offer salads, only burgers, nuggets and fries. Watch it here.
