Socio-economic barriers can significantly affect access to healthy food options. Low-income neighborhoods often lack affordable and nutritious food sources, leading to dependence on convenience stores and fast-food outlets that offer limited healthy choices. These food deserts can contribute to poor dietary habits and increased rates of obesity and related health conditions. Additionally, economic constraints may deter individuals from purchasing fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as these options can be more expensive than processed foods. Consequently, addressing these socio-economic barriers is vital to promoting equitable access to nutritious foods for all socioeconomic groups, enhancing overall community health.
