Most food related problems are not due to lack of food, but due to lack of food choices knowledge.
Urban areas as well as rural areas do have access to food to some percentage, either bought or own farmed but knowing which food to eat, what time to eat etc is the problem that has caused malnutrition, obesity and many food related diseases and problems.
For example, in my country we are meant to believe that to have energy and grow healthy we should eat alot of carbohydrates and sugar, at least 3 times a day, 7 days a week. This has seen children and adults being neglected of other nutrients that the body needs like protein, fruit, vegetables etc leading to health food problems. Because there is no demand, farmers also end up producing less of the other types of foods which are nutrient dense because no one is consuming or buying. It's not that other foods can't be accessed or farmed but it's because no one is buying, if we start buying, farmers will be hands on too. Junk food business is doing very well in Urban areas because people don't know and no one is guiding them on healthy food choices.
My solution is to promote sustainable and health diets both online and physical campaigns, by guiding and teaching people that natural whole foods are easily accessible and easy to prepare. If we make correct food choices, the world's optimal health will be in check.
They say and I quote" Let food be our medicine, let our medicine be our food" I want to bring this quote in to practice. I want the world to realise that making good food choices is cheaper than sickness which comes due to lack of food choices knowledge.
6 months ago I registered a company and I'm now coaching and guiding people on adopting good eating habits. I have so far helped over 2 thousand people, our group has grown from 0 to 11'000 in 3 months, this means alot of people are willing to learn and be guided on healthy eating habits but they can hardly access such facilities, if they do then they are very expressive, very few can afford. The results have been amazing, the obese are losing weight, the underweight are gaining weight, all just by guiding them on what to eat, what time to eat, what not to eat, all because of eating natural, locally accessible foods. The good part is this campaign is being done both online and physical, that makes the solution a global reach.
I need help to reach out to more people out their, I believe if I reach out to one person I would have reached out to 10 people because that one person will implement the good eating habits they have been taught in their homes, hence the whole house hold will benefit.
