Among all households across the years 2008-2010, 8.2 percent of Gallup respondents
reported that it was “not easy to get affordable fresh fruits and vegetables.” The rate
of the affordability and access challenge among households with children was slightly
higher: 9.0 percent.
Confirming the results of a number of other studies, Hispanics and Blacks in the
Gallup survey reported considerably higher rates of difficulty in accessing affordable
fresh fruits and vegetables, compared to Whites and Asians.
