Those windows that are not bricked up are covered in heavy security grilles; the shopkeeper hides behind a Plexiglas wall. Most of what is on offer is either packaged or carbonated, and is always processed. This part of Chicago's South Side is in the heart of one of America's many food deserts. These are notable not for the absence of food, but for the kind of food available. Though crisps, sweets and doughnuts are easy to come by, an apple is a rare commodity. Yet all the evidence shows that poor access to quality food results in a higher risk of obesity, diabetes and cancer--and more avoidable deaths. Research published this week by Mari Gallagher, an independent food researcher, suggests that the problem of food deserts may be relatively tractable. Over the past five years, thanks to the arrival of some new grocery stores, Chicago's desert has shrunk by 40% to a mere 384,000 people. It sometimes takes only one shop to change things vastly for the better This is all grist to the mills of Michelle Obama, America's first lady, and Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's mayor, who appeared together at a South Side pharmacy on October 25th to promote access to fresh food.
