The Problem Readressed

Like I found out, food that is cheap and available is rarely nutritious. Many times, it's fatty, greasy, fast food that contains a high amount of saturated fat with zero of the vitamins a body is recommended to have on the daily basis. Many of the vitamins and minerals you need are found in fruits and vegetables, but these are typically more expensive products. A huge problem exists in SNAP where people are unable to buy vitamins and supplements they need to possibly stay healthy. This is hard to address because some say vitamins are necessity because of the diet, while others say they aren't. But by living on a budget, you already limit yourself to what you can buy. You also need a certain amount of calories in your diet, and vegetables don't satisfy that. So now, you are forced to choose between a healthy option or a satisfying one. It's a choice between short term and long term gains.
