Night Owl Vegan provides ready-to-eat food options in an area where healthy prepared foods are not readily available at reasonable prices. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health released a report on food deserts and accessibility to healthy foods in the city, and they found that “a majority of the city’s food stores sell mostly unhealthy foods that are high in sugar, salt, and fat” (Kellner).
