The document discusses issues with the current US healthcare system and reasons for poor health. It notes that over half of Americans are overweight or obese, and chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes are widespread. It argues the main causes of disease are toxicity from environmental chemicals and nutritional deficiencies due to poor soil quality and standard American diet lacking minerals and vitamins. The document advocates for improving diet by increasing intake of high-quality whole foods and liquid supplements for better nutrient absorption.

How to reduce your cancer risk
This presentation explores the cancer rates in 1975 vs 2014 after the 40 plus year war on cancer and suggests that everyone should include enough antioxidants, which experts say may prevent cancer.
Window Farms Food Security Project
Background
The idea for the project came from a community eco-design forum that featured the innovative work of Brita Riley. Riley created the first hydroponic window farm installation located in New York City in February of 2009 (Riley). Her objective was to teach those who lived in urban food deserts and worked in office buildings an affordable and easily maintainable way to grow their own food and personally involve them in issues related to agriculture and the environment. Food deserts are an area where large-scale supermarkets have abandoned--leaving the entire community with little or no access to affordable, quality food (Bullard). Riley created a community forum using social media in order to encourage other artists and gardening enthusiasts to develop their own versions of her hydroponic, soilless, gardening system. And she states that
The ultimate aim of the Windowfarms project, however, is not to create a perfected
physical object or product. Rather, the most highly valued result is a rewarding
experience with crowsdsourced innovation. We are interested in the participants’
experience as they design for their own microenvironments, share ideas, rediscover the
power of their own capacity to innovate, and witness themselves playing an active role in
the green revolution (Riley).
Thesis
Even though low income groups produce the lowest ecological footprints, cohort groups who fall below the poverty threshold would benefit in many ways from learning about sustainability practices because they demonstrate the largest need for these principles (Echo). While some low income Americans have learned little about the corporate “green movement” advertised in the media and its impact on the environment, if these cohort groups had better access to information about the income barriers and other economic factors that limit access to education...

JAMA Network: Pregnant women may not be getting recommended nutrients
Nutrition during pregnancy is a critical dimension not only for women’s health but
also for the lifelong health of the offspring. Very limited national data exist on the usual dietary
intakes of pregnant women.
Some 3% of women were taking more than the tolerable amount of iron and folic acid. Almost all Pregnant women may not be getting all the vitamins and nutrients that are usually recommended to them during pregnancy, a new survey finds. Researchers asked more than 1,000 pregnant women whether they took dietary supplements, and even though most of the women took supplements, many were not meeting the recommended intake: More than 10% did not were taking less than the recommended amount of magnesium, iron,of the women included in the study were also consuming high amounts of sodium.
The study authors call for better dietary supplement recommendations to better help pregnant women get the nutrients they need.

Our health is the greatest gift we have and making informed decisions about the food we eat has been proven to prevent illnesses.
Many people in the US are both overfed and undernourished resulting in myriad health issues. It has been estimated that one-third of the children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes. This is completely preventable. Scores of academic and medical studies have concluded that the single most important factor in human health is nutrition, and our food (and how it’s produced) is something we can change.
Megan explores the landscape of the US food system and inspire participants to connect the dots between what we eat and our collective health.
