Prenatal Eating Habbit

While doing some research for an upcoming assighnment I have made a startling discovery. According to Jeremy Cox, author of "Shands Jacksonville provides moms-to-be with healthy food: Poor prenatal nutrition is a factor in Jacksonville's high infant death rate" ,published in Florida Times-Union "Poor prenatal nutrition was one of the main factors cited in Jacksonville's high infant death rate in an influential Jacksonville Community Council study released last year. In particular, it said, access to grocery stores stocked with healthy food is "limited or nonexistent" for many poor residents"(1).

In this article they express the importace of healthy eating habbits especially in pregnant woman.I found it disturbing that these children can not protect themselves, and so much harm is happening that is so easly prevented. 33 percent of Jacksonvilles infant deaths was at fault of the overweight mothers. This number is insane.

What can society do to change this?
