Data Story 2:

Topic: Why are unhealthy food Choices the only option for minorities?

For this project, some of the sources that I chose were:

Source: Palo Alto Medical Foundation

What: This site talks about various healthy food options and supporting data on human consumption.

Link: http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/nutrition/fastfood.html

                                                                                                                                                                            

Source: Foodtrust.org

What: This site gave information as to how the “ Grocery gaps” work with in various impoverished communities.

Source: Center on budget and policy priorities

What: This link gave insight on the number of people who are actually insured along with their demographic.

The reason why I chose to use these sources for my story is because they give insight on each segment that I wanted to cover during this story. I was able to cover the the problem, the people it affects, and how this problem can and/or how is affecting people not socially and economically.
