Many people rely on these food and diet programs. Therefore, it is important that funding continues to be allocated to these nutrition programs and, more importantly, that there is stable funding that will allow food and nutrition programs to continue for a long time. Nutrition programs help individuals benefit from a healthy food supply and good nutrition education. Additionally, these programs prevent people from becoming unhealthy and help them balance their dietary intake. Without food programs, some people would stay hungry for days while others would not pay attention to how they eat, leading to chronic disease or obesity. To be clearer, nutrition programs help humans live healthier lives.
