Many of the serious health concerns in modern America can be linked to poor diet. People who
regularly consume foods high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats not only increase their chances of obesity, but
also increase their risks of developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and several types of cancer.
Although some people who regularly consume unhealthy foods do so knowingly, there is also a significant
portion of the population that remains undereducated about proper nutrition. What is more, individuals who
live in food deserts — areas in low-income neighborhoods that lack easy access to healthy, affordable food—
may not even have the opportunity to obtain nutritious food. Although there have been some recent
government efforts to reduce the number of food deserts, more community - based efforts should be encouraged
and supported.
Food deserts are located in high-poverty areas, such as sparsely populated rural areas or densely
populated, low-income urban centers. Food deserts most often develop when major supermarket chains either
relocate out of these areas or simply refrain from building stores there in the first place. Major food retailer
chains tend to limit their store locations to wealthier urban or suburban neighborhoods. This means that those
who live in high - poverty areas often also live miles away from the fresh meats, dairy products, and produce
available at supermarkets. Residents of these areas who do not have cars are thus forced to travel long distances
on public transportation to do their grocery shopping, or else they are limited to the food available at local
convenience stores and gas stations. These types of food retailers often only sell packaged, processed foods that
offer little nutritional value.
Furthermore, fast food restaurants are disproportionately concentrated in low-income areas; recent
estimates suggest that those living in the poorest areas of a city experience 2.5 times more exposure to fast food
restaurants than the wealthiest inhabitants of the city. Because individuals who live in food deserts tend to get
their meals from fast food restaurants or convenience stores, they often suffer from a variety of health issues.
Research has found that individuals who live in low-income neighborhoods are much more likely to develop
problems with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension than those who live in more affluent neighborhoods.
A solution to the problem of food deserts seems obvious: more supermarkets should be built in low-
income neighborhoods. The problem with this solution, of course, is that it is difficult to lure supermarket chains
into poor areas. Because poorer people have less money to spend on food, supermarket chains do not consider
them to be attractive customers. One way that the government can help to offset this issue is by offering tax
breaks or other incentives for supermarkets in low-income areas. In 2010, the Obama administration
implemented the Healthy Food Financing program, which is a set of initiatives designed to help bring grocery
stores into areas currently designated as food deserts.

Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or
humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It
could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some
form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which
resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example
is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal
situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen
manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For
example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on
extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national
celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big
Brother participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for several styles of
program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other
special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format of the show and control
the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition
plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events,
and settings to encourage particular behavior and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality
shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell
good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."
