Health is holistic, but not having access to a variety of fresh, nutritious food plays a huge part in the detrimental effects of living in a food desert. Keep these things in mind before passing judgement on a single parent buying a box of Twinkies instead of apples or berating a fat person for "not eating healthy" Some people simply don't have the luxury of choice.

Let’s talk about food deserts…

[3/5] L’Afrique subsaharienne cumule de fortes carences pour les produits laitiers, le poisson, les légumes et les fruits. Même dans des unions régionales comme la CARICOM ou la CEDEAO, l’autosuffisance dépasse rarement 2 groupes alimentaires sur 7. #geography #FoodInequality

Yea....... Should probably religiously check your EBT after the 26th.

My hand is over a QR code.

The emphasis, IMO, is extremely suspicious considering what is going on right now.

The latest Broken Plate report from The Food Foundation highlights the stark reality of food inequality in the UK. With healthier food often priced out of reach & ultra-processed options dominating, families are facing significant barriers to maintaining a nutritious diet.

🔟Doing nothing is not an option. To build a healthier workforce, reduce inequalities, and secure a brighter future for our children, we must act decisively. Let’s continue this conversation and work together for change. #PublicHealth #FoodInequality

Because we can't afford food we enjoy or that's healthy for us! #FoodInequality
