💔 The State of Our Health in the U.S. 🍽️

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:

📊 About 50% of Americans have prediabetes or diabetes
📊 75% of adults report at least one chronic condition
📊 A whopping 90% of U.S. healthcare spending goes to treating diet-related diseases.

For decades, diets heavy in highly processed foods have been linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses, and the data shows it.

That’s why the new Eat Real Food message focuses on eating whole, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats, while sharply reducing ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and refined carbs.

🥦 Real food fuels real health.
🥬 Highly processed food fuels disease.

👇 What’s one change you’re making this week to eat more real foods? 👇
