Conclusion
Healthy Start is a lifeline to many families who might otherwise struggle to find the budget for healthier foods for their children. It is especially impactful during a time of increasing food prices, with healthier foods often being more expensive than unhealthy foods. However, the scheme as it is currently designed is not reaching its full potential, has not kept up with the rising cost of living and is reaching too few eligible families. (Conclusion, Paragraph 49)
