Hard work has always played an important role in America, but so has compassion. This is a troubling study that needs to be addressed. Nobody is saying to throw money at a problem but this needs attention. Families trying to raise kids need to be able to provide proper diets if they have any hope of moving up and on to a better life.
One study shows that low-income Americans now would have to spend up to 70 percent of their food budget on fruits and vegetables to meet new national dietary guidelines for healthy eating.Plenty of education is needed in the US though will the corporate food giants that we have allowed to grow allow it?
And a second study found that in rural areas, convenience stores far outnumber supermarkets and grocery stores -- even though the latter carry a much wider choice of affordable, healthy foods.
