Food Industry In The United States (Group 6) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Many city neighborhoods lack access to large, well stocked supermarkets with competitive prices. Residents must often choose between overpriced (and often poor-quality) goods and a long trip to a suburban market. The low rates of private vehicle ownership among the urban poor can make shopping for healthy food a burden.

        "Diabetes affects more than 30 million Americans and is both more common and more likely to lead to complications in those with lower socioeconomic status (1,2). Adherence to a healthy diet is a cornerstone of diabetes management, but those who are socioeconomically vulnerable face several important barriers to dietary adherence. First, food insecurity, the uncertain or limited availability of food owing to cost, is highly prevalent in the U.S., affecting ∼13% of American households overall, 20% of Americans with diabetes, and 25% of Americans with poor glycemic control. In addition, area factors, such as having a place to purchase nutritious food, termed “physical food access” by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (5), lack of transportation, and neighborhood deprivation, can also make following an appropriate diet more challenging."
        
        "In a research experiment on food insecurities, participants who reported food insecurity were more likely to be racial/ethnic minorities, have Medicaid insurance, and have low educational attainment compared with those who were food secure. Participants living in an area with low physical food access were more likely to be non-Hispanic White. Only 2% of participants lived in a rural area. Participants with food insecurity had a greater number of outpatient visits during the follow-up period."
        
        "Other health outcomes, such as weight and mental health, may have stronger associations with area food access. In addition, improving physical food access could indirectly lead to health benefits by driving economic growth, generating tax revenue to support public services, and improving neighborhood livability."
- - - - Today in the United States, there is an existing supply chain issue making goods difficult to produce. Jumble this together, and we have a recipe for disaster. Not only do certain communities have limited access to food as it is, now that gap is even shrinking. The limited amount of available food that they have is slowly decreasing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2021/06/17/why-the-pandemic-has-disrupted-supply-chains/ This is an article by the White House describing the causes of the ongoing supply chain crisis.
    - - When individuals do not have the proper nutrition in their diet, they do not function properly. This can lead to sickness, fatigue and more fatal diseases. From an economic standpoint, an economy cannot function with ill individuals. Students in school cannot get a proper education if they are ill or not energized in class. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1746-1561.2005.tb06674.x?casa_token=TPIXHxIGv2EAAAAA:bsOaDCkX9IliquEzyhVuH8IZnGSfHe2--MR83rH0QQOazuFhcCa2yq6OEVGnBnFIjH9XCubO-RMKekTq This is an article discussing how proper nutrition and sleep can affect a student's performance.
- - - - Since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020, the restaurant industry has endured a lot of economic turmoil. The establishments that did survive the mandatory shutdowns, supply chain issues, and rising prices now face a new challenge: staffing shortages not seen in years.
