I am doing my best to eat better. Nothing out of a box, tin, or frozen. Treats are fruits and vegetables. It is helping, as is the daily 60+ min walks I've been taking. I feel healthier but have noticed an improvement in my mood. More happy-go-lucky would describe it.

I am also interested in responses but I have a secondary idea in mind. $$$$$ I am on disability and this affects my food budget. Fortunately I don't live in a 'food desert' so I have better choice. Fresh produce is now crazy expensive and I really struggle. Rice and bean or lentils are eaten nearly every day.

We spoke about food a few support meetings back. Many on my same income do live in 'food deserts' and much of their food comes from convenience stores and dollar/discount stores. Others just simply don't know how to budget or stick to diet. So too there are some that simply never grew up eating well and just don't know how to eat properly. And then there are those that perhaps aren't as creative in making their food dollars stretch as far as possible. Some just can't win any way they try.

So I wonder then about those who are losing the struggle to eat well. Are they also seeing a connection between how they eat and their health.
