Free veggies for all? study tests if bigger coupons boost family health

This study looked at whether giving low-income families in British Columbia larger coupons for farmers' markets helps them eat better and feel more food secure. About 276 parents and their children were split into three groups, receiving either the usual $27 per week or higher amounts of $54 or $81 per week for 16 weeks. Researchers measured their diet quality and food security before, during, and after the program to see if the extra money made a difference.
