We have too many agencies with large budgets doing the same thing–probably some successfully and some not. We need to pull those agencies together and have them provide statistics to show who is doing what is making an impact and doing it most efficiently. THEN look at redistribution and addition of funds where the programs are working and not duplicating efforts.
Making Indiana “healthier” is a gigantean undertaking.
How do you convince people to exercise more? Hoosiers love to burn gas that costs $3.50 circling the parking lots for a spot immediately in front of the store entrance (let alone walk 15 feet to return the shopping cart to the pen). How do you persuade them to quit smoking? Hoosiers love to complain about the cost of their portable oxygen tanks while standing in line at Speedway to buy an $8 pack of cigarettes. How do you get them to choose smaller, healthier entrees even at the national franchise restaurant even when the menu clearly states what they just ordered has 2,500 calories (more than the daily need for any human body)?
This effort will need a lot of luck to work, especially considering that most of the Hoosiers needing to change their health habits think Donald Trump was the best president ever and can’t wait to vote for him again.
Food deserts? This is a relatively new, while poorly assessed description. 30 years ago there weren’t urban food deserts in Marion county or most of America. There was actually grocery competitions to gain market share. The absence of food retail locations is only a part of ‘retail deserts’. The same neighborhoods that had these missing grocery stores are also the same areas that had places to buy shoes, clothing, sit down restaurants, business office complexes, or retail anything. Businesses will not, nor cannot, operate where crime, in particular theft, runs rampant.
Unless certain segments of our general culture change, this situation can only persist. Numerous grocery outlets have opened in the last 15 years in certain neighborhoods, only to close not long afterward. Let’s face it. Entire blocks and segments of Indianapolis have gone from pleasant, convenient sources of retail purchasing to vacated slums.
All that crime in the meridian hills area causing it to be a food dessert.
I love the claim that crime causes food desserts when it’s only a part of the problem…
One of the things the IU Health foundation could do to “Cultivat[e] programs and places for improving health outcomes for people who live, work, learn and play near the new downtown Indianapolis hospital” is sell off all those surface parking lots they own on Capitol Avenue from north of the current Methodist Hospital all the way down past the Stutz building they had this party at. Big empty poorly lit spaces in urban areas contribute to crime and “social isolation”
