Food insecurity is categorized by the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food. In 2022, almost 13% of households across the United States were considered food insecure.1 The inability to access enough food to support active, healthy lifestyles is often associated with increased risk for multiple diet-related health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, mental health disorders and other chronic diseases..

粮食不安全的分类是缺乏负担得起的营养食品。2022年，美国近13%的家庭被认为食物不安全。1无法获得足够的食物来支持积极健康的生活方式通常与多种饮食相关健康状况的风险增加有关，如糖尿病、肥胖症、心脏病、心理健康障碍和其他慢性病。。

In addition to improving the participating members' physical and mental health, the combination of fresh grocery delivery with coaching services reduced food insecurity by more than half, from 42% to 19%.2 Research shows food and health are increasingly intertwined, with some chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes particularly impacted by a patient's nutrition.
