Description
Fast food has become an inexpensive, convenient meal option to the tune of rising obesity rates. Accordingly, there are hundreds of locations in every major city – Chicago is no exception. But how does this compare to traditional sources of healthy food especially for low-income populations? This project aims to determine if a disparity exists in availability of healthy foods and if a disparity exists in availability of traditional fast food in Chicago, IL, as well as recommend a location for establishing a healthy food intervention.
