Many people who struggle with hunger can't afford nutritious foods like
fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Instead, they make
tradeoffs for low-cost fast foods or cheaper costing food, which often are
processed and high in fat, sugar and sodium that can lead to chronic
conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and other medical conditions.
