Most people who work minimum wage jobs cannot afford to buy fresh food and fall into the vicious cycle of eating out almost every meal. Fast food may be more convenient because it's fast and cheap, but fresh produce is the best choice overall. Fresh produce is more nutritious than buying frozen or pre-packaged foods. When food is frozen, the nutritional value of the product decreases and unwanted preservatives are usually added. Locally grown produce is healthier and helps families spend more time together at home. In The Fight over Food Deserts: Corporate America Smacks Its Way Down by Eric Holt-Giménez, he states: “The solution to food security in America must come through a revitalized food economy, one that pays workers a living wage, one that includes workers and minorities. owned businesses and this keeps food dollars in local communities.” (Holt-Giménez 526) It means that people should have a salary that they can live on and not have to buy food from companies. The money should also be able to stay in the community instead of going into huge national franchises. In the long term, families will save more money by eating at home than by eating out every day
