Exciting news! 41 states and territories have seen drops in #ChildhoodObesity rates among young children enrolled in a federal #NutritionProgram. Fostering #HealthyEating through programs like this is vital to eliminating the epidemic. #FLFA19

Over 1 million #NYC residents are #FoodInsecure. This is partly due to rising costs of #HealthyFoods in the city, and high amounts of food going to #waste. With this many people impacted, when are we finally going to do something?! #FLFA19

#LocalSolutions to large problems, like #ChildhoodObesity, are often the most successful. Officials in Michigan recently introduced a program, called "Fit Kids 360," which aims to teach kids and their parents about #HealthierLifestyleDecisions. #FLFA19

U.S. consumers' food-at-home expenditures make up less than 5% of consumers’ disposable income. Conversely, Nigerian households spent 59% of total consumption expenditures on such items, leading to #FoodInsecurity, due to food price spikes and other volatile factors. #FLFA19

The #DigitalTransformation of global #FoodSecurity has led food supply chain stakeholders to seek more robust and efficient methods to meet the needs of people around the world. #Technology plays a large role in how we address many of these issues. #FLFA19

A 2018 study found that #UrbanAgriculture could produce as much as 180 million metric tons of food a year, while using 95% less water than conventional field #farming. Solutions like this are vital to achieving #FoodSecurity for future generations. #FLFA19 https://t.co/5wyaGnNkVX

Some U.S. cities are banning new #FastFood drive-throughs. Researchers suggest that #zoning could help protect residents from high-calorie, high-fat foods, but others argue the fast-food industry must do more to offer healthier options instead. #FLFA19 https://t.co/ytKzLgIHhb

Trump's proposed food-stamp cutbacks could deepen #FoodInsecurity for around 3 million of the 36 million people who now qualify for #FoodStamps. Food insecurity is associated with obesity, so these cutbacks may worsen America's #ObesityEpidemic. #FLFA19

"The closer a child in #NewYorkCity lives to a #FastFood restaurant, them more likely the child is to be overweight or #obese." We should encourage grocery stores with healthy products to enter such areas to provide access to healthier choices. #FLFA19

The link between sugar and #obesity has drawn increasing scientific attention in recent years. One study, conducted by the University of California, San Francisco, has documented the positive health impact of a #SodaSalesBan on its employees. #FLFA19

#RegenerativeAgriculture can lead to land becoming a carbon sink, by pulling carbon from the air and storing it in the ground. Can regenerative agriculture reverse #ClimateChange, if #BigFood companies begin to adopt such practices? #FLFA19

More than 250 million youths will be considered #obese by 2030. To combat this worrisome statistic, we must focus efforts on eliminating the aggressive #marketing of #JunkFood that has become all to common, particularly in lower income communities. #FLFA19 https://t.co/sK7Si0uHxl

[Steven Greco @StevenGFoodie]

We must do something about the alarming rise in #ChildhoodObesity. As #ProcessedFoods become cheaper & more accessible, levels of childhood obesity that were once common in rich countries are now occurring at lower income levels across the world. #FLFA19 https://t.co/YCNrJ8PgNM

It is a fact that #food can help control some #ChronicHealthConditions, and in some cases, eliminate the need for drugs. People ought to eat with their health conditions in mind, to ensure proper management of such conditions. #FLFA19 https://t.co/RuF6RfTsmj

[Steven Greco @StevenGFoodie]

"A focus on #treatment rather than #prevention has led to medical education that ignores the central role that food plays in health." Medical professionals must focus efforts on changing behaviors that lead to #HealthConditions, like #Obesity. #FLFA19

Last year, Americans spent $1.4 billion on the most popular #children's fruit drinks and flavored waters, yet none were healthy, according to nutritional guidelines. #SugaryDrinks are a big problem, and a strong contributor to the #ObesityCrisis. #FLFA19

Our #FoodSystem today is more international than ever. Hence, we must be responsible with how we navigate #FoodRelations with other nations. The U.S. government is marketing our meats and #crops to smaller countries, given the trade war with China. #FLFA19

As populations grow and limited resources diminish, #seafood could be an important source of #protein and #nutrients for the future. This helpful video breaks down the concept and illustrates a unique direction for our food system. #FLFA19 https://t.co/mMFRPOfquL

#FoodWaste is a growing concern, and many have proposed different solutions to alleviate the problem. The state of Maine has introduced one unique solution- feeding food waste to pigs! #FLFA
