Academy research reveals that more than 60 percent of low-income New Yorkers, surveyed by the Academy, are sometimes unable to pull together the resources to eat healthy.

Jo Ivey Boufford, MD, Academy President, talks to NY1’s Erin Billups about the millions of New Yorkers who struggle to eat healthy—sometimes eat at all—due to financial and community barriers that limit their access to nutritious foods. 

The City Health Beat segment is based on the new Academy report: “Food & Nutrition: Hard Truths about Eating Healthy.”
