[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food boxes have evolved. There is a lot more emphasis on produce and recipe cards. This trend should continue to retrain palates. Processed food is unhealthy and could explain a lot of health disparities that develop over a lifetime of poor diet.[/quote] This! I think the governments and private entities should find ways to provide meal kits to poor families instead of just SNAP/WIC/food stamps or whatever we have now. We should also put a form of home ec back in school to teach basic nutrition, cooking, and the like. Helping people, including children, understand options and choices not only helps with nutrition and to reduce obesity and Type 2, but can help with critical thinking, problem solving, and boost confidence.
