Imagine trying to rebuild your life after addiction, only to find that access to nutritious food is nearly impossible. In this episode of 'What the Food?', Karen vanBarneveld sits down with Haley, a non-profit worker from Arizona, to discuss the harsh realities faced by the homeless population in their quest for clean food.

The conversation dives into how diet plays a crucial role in mental wellness and recovery, emphasizing that good nutrition can help stabilize moods and support sustained energy levels. Karen and Haley also touch on the broader issues of food systems, poverty reduction through the AmeriCorps VISTA project, and waste reduction. They highlight the importance of education in promoting real food and the significant role addiction nutritionists play in creating individualized diets for those in recovery.
