Migration, immigration, shifts in social position, and the availability and convenience of more harmful foods have all contributed to the replacement of many traditional, nutrient-dense eating routines with less healthy ones. Lack of access to healthy foods and the prevalence of fast food have made low-income populations more susceptible to food-related illness and death.
