The closure of two Save A Lot grocery stores in southern Dallas shows often overlooked pillars of health: #nutrition and #food security. Without access to affordable, fresh food the health disparities gap widens. That’s why it’s critical we shift the health system to address food deserts as part of a holistic approach to #healthequity. With food insecurity on the rise, the role of community organizations, policymakers, and health advocates becomes ever more critical. Solutions must go beyond the immediate and tackle the root causes of food insecurity, including promoting policies that ensure long-term access to nutritious, affordable food options. Everyone, regardless of their zip code, has access to the food that nourishes and sustains. #HealthNotJustHealthCare https://lnkd.in/gwxy-mN2

🛒🍽️ Shaping the Future of SNAP Benefits: Opportunities for Manufacturers and Retailers 🍽️🛒 Recent shifts in U.S. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits are influencing the way SNAP households consume food. This transformation creates unique openings for manufacturers and retailers. 🌽 SNAP Benefits: SNAP is a lifeline for low-income families, boosting their grocery budgets. 📆 Changing Landscape: The emergency allotments introduced during the early days of COVID-19 have ended. These changes are impacting SNAP-assisted households. 💰 Consumer Behavior: With reduced benefits, SNAP households are dining out less. They are increasingly opting for in-home dining experiences, with a notable decline in dining out. This opens the door for affordable and convenient meal solutions. 🍽 At-Home Meals: SNAP recipients are looking for quick and easy-to-make food. This is where manufacturers and retailers can shine, providing appealing options that cater to meal occasions across the day. 🏪 Channel Preferences: Value retailers are gaining ground. How might this shift affect traditional grocery retailers? 🔍 Market Insights: What strategies should manufacturers and retailers employ to cater to SNAP households, who represent a substantial opportunity in the CPG sector? The shifting landscape of SNAP benefits is reshaping the way SNAP households approach their food consumption. Manufacturers and retailers should seize this opportunity by providing affordable, convenient meal solutions and adapting to the changing channel preferences. How do you envision the future of food consumption for SNAP households, and what role should manufacturers and retailers play?

3 years ago we decided to build our own supermarket. Why? Because our food system is broken. 2 in 5 UK children today are obese 🤯 And it’s obvious why. Trying to buy healthier food in the supermarket today is an obstacle course. Junk food promotions everywhere. False health claims. Higher prices on better foods. A redundant food traffic light system 🙄 And although big food companies are to blame for this, the supermarkets are no better. Their own brand products follow these same trends - false health claims laidened with sugar. Take a look at their breakfast aisle to see this first hand 🤦♂️ And Tesco’s new ‘Better Baskets’ campaign isn’t any better. Full of crisps ans heavily ultra-processed snacks. The good news - more people than ever are waking up to this helped by leading figures like Eddie Abbew on social media! We’ve seen some amazing growth here at WellEasy in the last 12 months and cannot wait to share more this year! Better food for all is the ask. Now more than ever.

According to a recent study by the USDA, the data for 2022 shows that an estimated 87.2 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the entire year. 🍏 This means they had consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. 🥦 While this is great news, it's also essential to acknowledge that there's work to be done. Approximately 12.8 percent of households experienced food insecurity at some point during the year. This figure is slightly higher than in previous years. 😔 We must continue efforts to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food year-round. Every person deserves the right to food security and a healthy life. 🌎💚 For more insights and details, check out the full study here: https://lnkd.in/gmnUMGeF Let's keep raising awareness, supporting local food banks, and working towards a future where hunger is a thing of the past. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🍽️ #FoodSecurity #EndHunger #CommunityMatters

Thank you KSL for reaching out for an interview and bringing nutrition security to the front of mind. 🥳 Inflation has hurt a lot of people in regards to nutrition security. Nutrition is a basic need and a human right. But hunger needs to be addressed at every level, with all hands on deck. Let’s do our part to break down any stigma on connecting to nutrition assistance resources, find ways to feed our communities, build sustainable systems to support agriculture, empower people to eat in a healthy way that celebrates cultural preferences, and find ways to reduce food waste at every stage of the food system. It’s time to knock out hunger once and for all, one solid step at a time. If you need resources, I shared some links with KSL in the interview. (click on the link and scroll to the bottom)
