Yes Kelley - I do. While the research shows that the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables is limited in low income areas, there are ways of making healthy meals quickly & inexpensively. One of my favorite sites for quick and cheap ideas is Jeff Novick's My Simple Recipes.

Hi Roger,

Do you think some of those scores are based on perception, on lack of education about healthy food? For example, oatmeal (not that processed, flavored junk in single serving packs) is available in EVERY grocery store. I agree that the school food programs suck in general but in this case, we're battling Big Farm and an ignorant government.

Great questions you pose, and I love that you tell viewers how they can make a change. Taking responsibility starts with awareness of the damage unhealthy food does to adults and children.

You rock!
