But to cite that number without disaggregating the data hides the ways that multiple oppressions compound this violence. For instance, women (and men) of color are more likely to experience these forms of violence than White women or men and that wealth privilege can help to insulate some women from some forms of violence.” Argumentation Aristotelian argument Call-to-action Interacting with Sources Thesis (Claim of evaluation and policy) Evidence (Quote, paraphrase, summarize) 439 “Economics and Obesity” by Catherine Sterrett While food deserts do contribute to obesity, the main economic cause is more likely the price of healthy, nutritious food. A healthy diet is too expensive to be accessible to low-income people and families, even if they do have access to a supermarket. Nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables, while healthy, are low in calories. Unhealthier foods have high amounts of calories for a much lower cost, making them extremely appealing to families on a budget.
