Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. What does Finley mean when he says that he lives in a food desert? How is it possible that drive-ins are killing more people than drive-bys?

He is saying that people are dying from curable diseases. Everywhere you look there is a fast food restaurant and the obesity rate is up in South Los Angeles. You have to travel far to get fresh vegetables.

2. How is Finley helping to change the way that people eat and shop for food in South Central LA?

He is planting gardens. He planted a food forest in front of his house. Then his group started planting gardens through out the city. He wants to plant a garden a city block long.

3. Why might Finley's message appeal to a broader audience than the messages in the other two videos? Do you think his ideas are realistic? Would you ever be interested in joining a movement like this?

I think it would appeal to a broader audience because of the good it is doing. He is getting children and teens to help and get them interested in growing fresh food.

I think this is something that can be done if people were interested in it.

I think I would be interested in something like this. I keep trying to talk my parents into doing a garden in our back yard since we have a huge yard.
