Eating Well In Your Community
Eating well promotes and supports social, physical, and mental well-being for all people at all ages and stages of life. It contributes to the overall health of individuals, families, and communities. It also helps reduce the risk or manage certain diseases.
To eat well, healthy food needs to be available and accessible so people can make healthy food choices. Food security exists when all people have sufficient, safe and nutritious food.
