美国肥胖率的上升引起了人们对营养食品供应的担忧。针对食品成本和质量的研究有限；因此，这些分析试图记录纽约布鲁克林不同经济地区的农产品成本和质量差异。尽管低收入地区的价格一直较低，而且在质量方面没有出现一致的趋势，但在以黑人为主的社区，有限的农产品供应严重阻碍了结果。成本和质量被认为是与储存类型和产品供应不可分割地联系在一起的因素。进一步的研究必须综合评估所有这些因素，以全面了解当地的食物环境。
The increasing rate of obesity in America has raised concerns about the availability of nutritional foods. Studies that address food cost and quality are limited; therefore, these analyses attempt to document differences in cost and quality of produce in economically diverse areas of Brooklyn, New York. Although prices were consistently lower in low-income areas and no consistent trends emerged regarding quality, limited produce availability in predominantly black neighborhoods significantly hampered results. Cost and quality were factors found to be indivisibly linked to store type and produce availability. Further studies must assess all of these factors in tandem for a comprehensive portrait of local food environments.
