The State Board of Health conducted a nutrition survey to assess the extent of hunger problems in North Carolina, and to determine the barriers preventing good diet. The survey revealed that poor nutrition occurs most frequently in the eastern part of the state. Children in affluent and poor families alike are not eating what they should and may be malnourished.
