Recent studies have shown that one out of four older Americans suffer from poor nutrition.
Good nutrition plays a crucial role in keeping older people healthy and functioning.
Many older Americans, however, aren't eating well. Those who may have lost their teeth find it difficult to chew. Others may have a hard time getting to the grocery store, especially if they no longer drive. Still others simply cannot afford to buy the kind of food that could help keep them healthy. In fact, for many older people it's not a question of eating well but of eating at all.
