Housing is public health, but how important is having a physical address? What can you do or not do if we don't have an address? -o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.comSupport the show

Food is Public Health - Food Deserts
For many of us, groceries are just there. We may think about how often we shop for groceries, or how much we spend each week on groceries, but for most of us we hardly think about our access to them or how we get there. What happens when people live in an area that doesn't have easy access to food and groceries? Food deserts are those areas, and they have a profound impact on the health of people living there. -o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealthEmail: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.comSupport the show
