Environmental burdens are disproportionately borne by indigenous populations, low-income communities, and people of color.

The special publication this week is particularly relevant to my research and to the INDIAbetes film: “Recommended Strategies and Measurements to Prevent Obesity in the United States” There is so much to say about it, but I’ve only got a few minutes, so please excuse my less than comprehensive review.
