Public Health Nutrition: Benefits, Scope, Limitations, and a Latin American Experience.
This peer reviewed article was published in 2020 and evaluated the use of social media to help
promote public health and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The authors of this research study
evaluated the affordability of social media and the accessibility of different platforms for
minority groups. Their abstract concluded that several institutions have integrated the use of
social media to improve and promote public health. The journal that published the research study
emphasizes the importance of good public health and focuses on preventing diseases such as
obesity and heart disease. It publishes four volumes a year with around 60 studies a volume. I
think this source will be a great one to use for my paper because it puts in perspective how we
can use a free service to promote food communities and use those food communities to help with
public health.

It is essential that agriculturalists begin to capitalize on the social media movement. With more
than half of the U.S. population using social media daily, producers could decrease the gap
of disconnect between producers and consumers. This 2019 video was created to help
educate viewers about the use of social media and the different platforms that are available
along with the cost of each platform. The director of this video focused on breaking down
the demographics of the applications and explaining what form of communication is used
with each app. The interviewee, Jessica Wood, a communications specialist out of
Madison, WI, explains that it is important for farmers and ranchers to optimize the use of
social media to connect with the general public. This video was published by The Farm
Monitor organization that provides information to the general public and producers on how
to better connect with one another. I do think this unbiased company provides truthful
information in an easy to understand format, which makes it an excellent source for the

Research Center to explain and articulate the number of people in the world who utilize social
media. In American, alone, more than 72% of the public use some type of social media. This

polling, demographic research, and other social science research. They pride themselves on not
taking policy positions and remaining unbiased. It’s goal is to enrich the public and provide
