Eating well is important for both our physical and mental health. When our bodies are properly nourished, we feel more energized and capable of doing what we want to do, which leads to a greater sense of wellbeing. In this way, the positive effects of eating well can reach all areas of our lives. However, there are often social and structural factors that can hinder our ability to make healthy food choices. Income, location, education, and many other factors impact how free people are to nourish themselves. These factors are often determined by systemic racism and classism. Nonetheless, the more we know about these structural factors as well as nutrition, the more control we can take back. Prioritizing healthy eating can thus be a road to collective action for social change, as well as an individual path to wellbeing.
