Many Americans have diets deficient in fresh produce, whole foods, and important nutrients, and it isn’t all due to personal choices. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Megan Winkler, PhD, discuss the cost, access, and availability of healthy food in the United States.

In the Q&A, Bristow fields listener questions on COVID vaccine side effects, licking uncooked brownie batter, the TB outbreak in Kansas, COVID vaccine timing during pregnancy, slushies, all before taking a look at recent comments from the Secretary of the HHS.

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the Show Notes.
