This is important point to take into account when talking about a healthy diet. Lots of people around the world would like to eat better but simply can't due to the rising cost. This should be one of the first things we think about before discussing ones eating habits. @beh353.bsky.social #BEH353

Almost three billion people cannot afford a healthy diet
A healthy, nutritious diet is much more expensive than a calorie sufficient one.

When reading about nutrition I will keep in mind that correlation ≠ causation. If things are happening together does not mean 1 is caused by the other. We see this a lot in dieting tips, so it is important to look for further information before believing it right off. @beh353.bsky.social #BEH353

I'm a 2nd year premed major with 2 minors. Taking this course as an elective for one minor. I am curious how mental health affects nutrition. When I think of nutrition I think of balance. My favorite food is pickles! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
