Access to quality food is a serious issue in this country.  In some communities you can walk a few blocks to a fast food restaurant, but have to travel miles to reach a grocery store. 

Chef Chad Cherry is the  founder of Chef Kulture, a company based in Ft. Lauderdale that educates the community about healthy eating and is fighting food disparities in low-income areas.
