Question

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2016, about 12.7% of the American population lived in poverty. Research demonstrates that people living in or near poverty have worse health outcomes and less access to health care than those who do not. Neighborhoods with many poor or low-income residents often have fewer resources that promote health. The lack of one resource, in particular, results in food insecurity and sometimes malnutrition. That is A) access to clean drinking water. B) preventive or needed medical care. C) grocery stores offering affordable and nutritious foods. D) recreational facilities that encourage physical activity. E

Answer 1

grocery stores offering affordable and nutritious foods ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

The lack of grocery stores offering affordable and nutritious foods in particular results in food insecurity and sometimes malnutrition because people living in these areas( poor neighborhoods) under research can barely afford three ( 3 ) square meals if Nutritious foods are not sold to them at a subsidized rate in relation to how they are sold elsewhere.

The inability to afford three square healthy meals will result to malnutrition and poor health conditions among people living in these neighborhoods according to the research
