概要

To understand today's food crisis, we need to look back at how we got here. Redlining—the discriminatory practice of denying services to residents based on their neighborhood's racial composition—didn't just affect housing. It shaped entire food landscapes. In Dayton, these historically disinvested Black neighborhoods became what activists now call "food apartheid zones"—areas systematically deprived of access to fresh, affordable, nutritious food.

The numbers tell a stark story. Approximately one in four children in the Dayton area experiences food insecurity. But behind these statistics are real families making impossible choices: pay the electric bill or buy fresh vegetables? Fill up the gas tank to get to work or drive across town to the nearest full-service grocery store?

For many Black families, the nearest sources of food are corner stores stocked with processed foods and fast-food restaurants. This reality contributes to higher rates of diet-related diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease in the Black community—health disparities that reflect not individual choices, but structural inequalities.
