#SaludTues Tweetchat 5/2/23: How to Create Food Fairness

Share On Social!

Many families, including Latinos, struggle to get enough food to feed their families.

They often face hunger. Even if they do get enough food, what they have is often nutritionally vacant. This contributes to a variety of health differences in diabetes, heart disease, and other health conditions.

We need an environment of food fairness.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, to discuss emerging strategies to change environments, systems, and policies to encourage fair access to affordable, healthy food in our schools and communities across the nation for Latinos and all people!
