Take the Challenge

health happens when it’s easy to put healthy food on the table

Everybody knows it’s important to eat right.  But, even through California leads the nation in agricultural production and exports, we have “food deserts” – neighborhoods without grocery stores, farmers markets or any place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.  Instead, families depend on convenience stores that are loaded with junk drinks, chips, and other unhealthy, processed foods, and the health of our state suffers because of it.  Health happens in neighborhoods with access to nutritious, affordable food.
