Survey Finds Healthy Foods Difficult to Access for Many Kentuckians
The 2010 Kentucky Health Issues Poll surveyed Kentuckians about their ability to get healthy foods for their families. While most people have adequate access to fresh fruits and vegetables, this is a significant concern for too many Kentucky families. The poll found that:
· 1 in 5 Kentucky adults (21%) said it was not easy to get affordable fruits and vegetables where they live.
· 4 in 10 Kentucky adults (41%) were worried about having enough money to buy nutritious meals to feed their families.
One in three low-income Kentuckians (earning less than $22,050 for a family of 4) reported it is difficult for them to get affordable fresh fruits and vegetables.
