It is no secret that healthier food makes for healthier people. However, there can be challenges to overcome when trying to make healthy food choices for ourselves and our families.
For one thing, not all foods are created equally, nutrition-wise. In fact, many highly processed foods can have adverse effects on our health. There are many communities in the US and beyond that do not have ready access to affordable, high quality food, for a number of reasons.
And the economics of food production play a large role in the availability of fruits and vegetables, which tend to cost more to grow and harvest.
Thank goodness, public health researchers are studying all these problems and coming up with clever, effective, solutions.
