The document discusses global inequalities between the North and South. It notes that historically, the North had more power and control over world trade, food supplies, health, literacy, and incomes compared to the South. This led to higher child mortality rates and lower life expectancy in the South due to issues like less available food, poor diets, lack of clean water and sanitation, and limited medical care. While social inequalities exist within both the North and South, the reasons for differences in life expectancy and infant mortality rates between the two areas are largely due to injustice that keeps the North rich and the South poor.
this presentation is about the comparison of first world and third world countries and it mainly highlights about the problems faced by third world countries.

Exploring Food Access and Health Disparities

Abstract: I joined the wellness committee at the counseling center where I worked. We talked about
how to increase our health habits and those of our co-workers. We organized lunch hour walking
parties, got group discounts at a health club and decided to have a potluck luncheon in order to share
our healthy recipes and sample the food. My co-workers talked about recipes that are low in fat, low
insaltandsugarless.Often thismeantartificialsweetenersandfatsubstituteswerepartof theirrecipes.
No one said anything about avoiding processed foods or eating less meat. No one said anything about
eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains or organic and locally grown foods. It was at
this very moment that I realized I was from a different planet. The planet I come from calls for a much
different diet. The planet that I’m from has poor and affluent people alike who are obese. While in
some parts of the world people are starving. Race, class, and gender influence health outcomes. What
we eat is influenced by outside factors and I see people getting further away from the source of all
food, theearth.Food isonecommondenominator inhealthdisparities.Onmyplanet therearedispar-
ities in access to healthy foods. Part of the solution is related to broadening awareness. Coming up
with solutions means coming up with new definitions about what is healthy food, and redefining our
roles as health care practitioners/world citizens. Could it be that there is a diet that is not only good
for you, but good for your global neighbors and the earth?

THIS PAPER EXPLORES the relationship between health outcome disparities andaccess to food prefaced on the principle that diet is one of the most important factorsimpacting health. It is not recent news that there are health disparities according to
racial/ethnic, gender, and socio-economic status. Much of the literature which ad-
dresses the problem of health disparities is focused on proving they exist. Identifying causes
for these disparities is a much more complicated endeavor. If we are going to close the gaps
between health disparities it is a worthwhile endeavor. Contributing to the difficulty in
identifying causes is the multifaceted nature of human health and the individual and varying
contexts which support (or don’t support) health and wellbeing. These facets include
heredity, access to health care and disease prevention, lifestyle, stress, and diet. The focus
of this article is on food and health conditions resulting from dietary choices and food
availability.
Health Disparities
Health disparities exist for many different vulnerable populations. Worldwide, poverty is a
significant indicator of health disparities. People who are poor experience a higher prevalence
of chronic disease, higher mortality rates, stress, and lower life expectancy .
