Publisher's summary

"Bodegas: Urban Children Health Matters" delves deep into the complex interplay between these corner stores and the health outcomes of Urban children residing in urban settings. As the subsequent chapters will elucidate, while these stores offer an array of goods, the preponderance of sugary, fatty, and processed foods poses critical challenges. For many Urban families, especially those in underserved neighborhoods, bodegas are sometimes the most accessible — or even the only — food sources available. This availability, juxtaposed with the dearth of fresh, nutritious options, can lead to significant health implications.

This book is not just a critique, but also an exploration. It seeks to unravel the historical, socioeconomic, and cultural threads that have woven the current tapestry of food access in Urban communities. It aims to shed light on the challenges, while also highlighting the potential for positive change, community resilience, and the indomitable spirit that defines these neighborhoods.

Join me on this enlightening journey through the aisles of the local bodega, as I examine their impact, their potential, and the vital importance of ensuring that when it comes to the health of Urban children, every choice matters.
