The privilege of local food access on and around campus
Access to food is a privilege many of us forget to consider a privilege. Many cities and communities around the nation are without access to the simplest of ingredients, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Without grocery stores or cheap produce, residents are forced to resort to eating processed junk food and fast food to simply survive. Here on and around the UW-Madison campus, we are privileged enough to have several reliable and affordable sources of fresh, local food that we may sometimes forget to fully appreciate.
