There wasn’t a tree or garden in sight the only park was full of concrete. Finding fresh fruit or vegetables to eat was next to impossible: the nearest supermarket mostly stocked processed foods, and our local restaurants were all fast food chains. The neighborhood I grew up in was a crowded, urban area where one-third of the multi-ethnic community lived in poverty.
