While the book is quite nice, I think it really misses it's target demographic. Many people in poor areas end up buying a lot of their food from the local convenience store where there's just a selection of low quality and unhealthy food (and not anything fresh). Kids also tend to be left to fix their own meals, which will be mostly junk food or something that doesn't require any preparation. It's a very challenging problem to address. Even when you have programs to get fresh and healthy food to these neighborhoods, it's a challenge to get people to take advantage of it.
