Two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and half of them are obese, increasing the risk of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease and taking a disproportionate toll on under-served populations. Illness can even be the cause of people falling into poverty. However, eating healthfully can be less expensive than diets fueled by seemingly cheap processed food or fast-food! The savings can happen in the short term and certainly in the long term, measured not only by dollars but also in quality of life.
