We so agree! And applaud the Appalachian states for their work in this area. Much of wellness is hyperlocal (personal lifestyle). It will just take some time to build out the infrastructure for truly localizing food and medicine. America may take health as an economic strategy one day!
As I read, I kept hoping to see herbicide and pesticide free local produce. As RFK said: "clean food and healthy soil". There's not going to be any significant change in the health of the populace if the local produce is sprayed with pesticides and the soil with herbicides. These are chemicals that cause significant harm to the body that can result in cancer and a host of other chronic and acute illnesses. This needs to be impressed upon the state leaders and farmers by the MAHA group.
The image of people who live in Kentucky and the Appalachian region, "Moonshiners!
Many are into alcohol and most likely the young into sodas, which are health destructive. Educating the people about nutrition would be a big step. People don't think or connect ...about what happens internally, when they eat wrong or drink the wrong beverages. Women particularly, are figure conscious...and if they knew that by eating more fruits and vegetables, they would look more attractive. It could make a difference, Our educational system should teach nutrition, beginning in first grade, but it might conflict with the Industries promoting processed food, alcohol and soda.
This is exciting and wonderful news .
