In African American communities, there are more fast-food restaurants and vendors of alcoholic beverages per capita than in White communities, and the consumption of the same is arguably higher among African Americans as well (Williams, 1998)—not unrelated to the aggressive marketing of these products to African American consumers. The frequent absence of major grocery chains, farmers’ markets, and wholefood markets in these same neighborhoods has meant that there are fewer affordable sources of fresh fruits and vegetables. This may well have implications for maintaining a healthy diet, as a study in an African American community in North Carolina found that the availability of grocery stores was directly related to consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables (Morland, Wing, & Roux, 2002). Increasing the ratio of food markets to fast-food restaurants and liquor stores in African American communities is a feasible structural change that might reap improved health benefits for the future.
