A significant portion of our country's population is food insecure. This food insecurity also leads to various health problems. Consumers are often forced to buy cheaper but less healthy food, which, among other issues, has led to a rise in obesity among food-insecure individuals, as several studies have shown. In addition, many food-related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, are linked to food insecurity. Again, through food recovery programs, we can reduce food insecurity and the personal health problems it creates.
