US: Aging Out of Foster Care Makes Eating Right a Challenge

US: Aging Out of Foster Care Makes Eating Right a Challenge
City Limits – September 18, 2017
Tony Turner knew he had to improve his eating habits to reverse a recent diagnosis of prediabetes, but, after several years in the foster care system, he did not know where to start. Turner realized he rarely received guidance on how to prepare nutritious meals or how to shop for healthy food on a budget so he decided to advocate for such programming at his foster care agency, which responded by introducing a 12-week nutrition program to address those deficits.
