healthcare for homeless #2

https://www.homelesshub.ca/blog/paradox-nutrition-deficiency-and-obesity

I found this source by using keywords "diet", "obesity", and "homeless." This source is useful since it provides studies and statistics about the food options that are available to people experiencing homelessness and how they contribute to their overall health. However, this article is found in a journal located in Canada. Despite this, the statistics and information provided is about the homeless population in both Canada and the United States, which is helpful for my argument. I am going to use this source to show the disparities that the homeless population faces when it comes to food. Those experiencing homelessness are confined to cheaper, unhealthier food options which impacts their health and increases the chances of obesity. I will use this information to argue that lawmakers need to consider these disparities when creating healthcare policies that affect those experiencing homelessness.

  1. The source is a blog by someone I can't really identify through searches, so watch out for biased information. But the blog does provide some hyperlinked sources (including the data you mentioned) that are legit, which is sufficient for your purpose and position in the argument. You'll definitely need other sources that are more academically based to back your paper off.
