Why is it so hard for some communities to find healthy food and safe places for their children to play? The childhood obesity rate is skyrocketing in every community, but communities of color often are disproportionately affected. Combine this with less access to healthy food, safe places to play and physical activity at school and the result is an ever mounting obstacle course for families of color. The good news is that there is already great work happening all around the country to reverse this trend. In this section, we've gathered some of the best existing research and tools to help you understand the issue, and we tell you how CCHE plans to build and expand upon the work already being done.
