Subject: Re: [SDOH] Time Magazine:The Politics of Fat
Dear Greta (or anyone out there),
Do you have or know of any literature evidence of the response of low
income people to "healthy eating" messaging? Any best practice
evidence on what works in addressing obesity in low income populations.
Anything about where or how resources should be invested to address
nutrition related chronic disease prevention (such as obesity, heart
disease, etc) to support health outcomes for this food access challenged
group.
We need evidence - because we can't advocate for health resources to be
expended on this population specifically unless we can show that general
healthy eating communications doesn't work for this specific sub-group.
Obviously, it is clear that there is a difference but lifestyle changes
are cheaper and the greater group that pays taxes would like to know
that it is personal choice and lack of effort that makes poor people
fat, sick, and mentally ill.
Would appreciate anybody responding with some help which we can all use
on the public health nutrition front who work with poor people.
Thanks,
Debs
