Give several reasons why nutrition has become a national concern


Nutrition has become a national concern because large numbers of people in today's society do not eat healthful meals. Fast foods and convenience foods have replaced homegrown and homecooked foods as staples of the American diet. As a result, diabetes and obesity are on the rise. Some individuals suffer from deficiencies of particular vitamins and minerals. Additional concerns include pesticides in commercially grown produce and hormones and antibiotics in commercially raised meat. All of these concerns have brought the importance of nutrition into the public consciousness.
