系列：今天的健康和医疗问题
美国的粮食不平等有多种形式。从负担不起足够食物的低收入家庭，到支付低于最低工资的农民工，再到被困在城市食物沙漠中的城市居民，我们获取食物的方式和与食物的关系上的差异可能会产生重大的生理、心理和文化后果。这些不平等往往有着深刻的历史根源，并与种族、社会经济地位、性别和地理位置有着复杂的联系。
作为格林伍德《今日健康与医疗问题》系列的一部分，食物不平等分为三个部分。第一部分探讨了不同类型的粮食不平等，并强调了美国目前为改善粮食供应和公平所做的努力。第二部分深入探讨了与该主题相关的各种问题和争议，全面、均衡地报道了这些热点话题。第三部分提供了各种有用的补充材料，包括案例研究、关键事件时间表和资源目录。
Food Inequalities by Tennille Nicole Allen
Series: Health and Medical Issues Today
Food inequality in the United States can take many forms. From the low-income family unable to afford enough to eat and the migrant farm worker paid below minimum wage to city dwellers stranded in an urban food desert, disparities in how we access and relate to food can have significant physical, psychological, and cultural consequences. These inequalities often have deep historical roots and a complex connection to race, socioeconomic status, gender, and geography.
Part of Greenwood’s Health and Medical Issues Today series, Food Inequalities is divided into three sections. Part I explores different types of food inequality and highlights current efforts to improve food access and equity in the U.S. Part II delves deep into a variety of issues and controversies related to the subject, offering thorough and balanced coverage of these hot-button topics. Part III provides a variety of useful supplemental materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, and a directory of resources.
