Health is holistic, but not having access to a variety of fresh, nutritious food plays a huge part in the detrimental effects of living in a food desert.

Managed to get some food down. I would try a smoothie, but I only have oat milk & boy it's so sweet. Unfortunately, I live in a #fooddesert & I only have a convenience store nearby & the milk is too expensive.
