A high density of fast food restaurants and liquor stores, along with very few grocery stores, leaves minimal options for healthy eating. Follow 18-year-old Monnai, a South LA resident, through her food environment. For more information, contact Kat Alexander: katialexander@gmail.com

This is an up close and personal account of living in a Food Desert... Brave young woman talking about her food choices that surrounds where she lives. Thanks Kat, for creating this video project to demonstrate what the reality is of food insecurity and the scarcity of real food in many of our communities.
