๐ The State of Our Health in the U.S. ๐ฝ๏ธ
The latest Eat Real Food guidance makes one thing clear, our health is in trouble, and much of it has to do with what we eat. According to
RealFood.gov, chronic health conditions are extremely common:
๐ About 50% of Americans have prediabetes or diabetes
๐ 75% of adults report at least one chronic condition
๐ A whopping 90% of U.S. healthcare spending goes to treating diet-related diseases.
