Abstract
Ensuring that everyone consumes a nutritious diet for a healthy life is a fundamental socioeconomic and human right entrenched in the South African constitution. However, realising this right is difficult without appropriate information. We need reliable facts about the extent to which people consume balanced diets, writes Dr Peter Jacobs, who investigated recent data on nutritional intake in South Africa.-
