2. Health outcomes are determined by proper nutrition or lack thereof  & access to care
3. The diseases & conditions most prevalent in populations living in concentrated poverty zip codes are preventable through proper nutrition and lifestyle habits (exercise & sleep)
4. Lack of knowledge on food, food science & experiential learning
