How Do You AFFORD Nutritious Food When You Live in a FOOD Desert | Shawn Stevenson & Dr. Casey Means

Shawn Stevenson and Dr. Casey Means discuss how Stevenson, author of “Eat Smarter Family Cookbook” grew up without easy access to whole foods, how he transformed how he eats despite his environment, and how those changes led to a reversal of poor health and chronic pain to an improved quality of life and even earning potential.
