It's most likely because the fruits and vegetables you buy in the store are devoid of nutrition. They are bred for shelf life and uniformity for shipping, not nutrition or flavor.

Well, that's part why bringing in veggies and doesn't work... There's also the stress of poverty.

There’s weak evidence at best that organic food is more nutritious. As long as it’s fresh and not canned. Hell, even frozen is better than nothing.

There’s pretty good evidence that each of us has a “sensitive period” when we figure out what’s good to eat. Most people don’t eat much differently than they did as kids. 1/2

Poor people 1- probably ate fast food during sensitive period 2-probably lower on openness & get exposed to few new foods 3-have less time to prepare food That’s why there’s no “food deserts” there just isn’t demand for food that poor ppl unaccustomed to eating/ preparing. 2/2

But how can I start a social enterprise to innovate on that problem?

Probably by studying your prospective customers.
