Too Many Children are Left Asking That Question Because They Have No Access to Healthy Foods

                                                        Going to the grocery store is something a lot of people take for granted, but for 29.7 million Americans who live in areas where it is difficult to buy healthy and fresh food that trip to the grocery store is more of a dream. Low-income zip codes have 25 percent fewer chain supermarkets than middle-income zip codes. The result?
