Why Everyone Needs A Food Reserve

Let us travel back to the twentieth century, during the World War II, when there was a lack of food and there were soldiers that were overseas that needed to be fed, what is county to do besides create new ways to produce food. The documentary Food Fight, director Chris Taylor, starts off with a chef asking about moms 'good old cooking' and ‘the hassle of making that good old cooking’ and then the chef goes on to talk about the time being shortened and you no longer have to expect that and then the images of a television dinner and a K ration is shown. These images are the beginning of a food war that has is not even close to being

“The numbers are astonishing in the land of the all-you-can-eat buffet.” Ana shows in her essay that despite the United States abundance of food, many families are dependent on food provided by the government. Sometimes this is

Families in cities rely on general stores and health food stores to obtain food products. A severe shortage of food throughout the country would raise potentially difficult questions for families. Where are they going to get food now that stores

The local food bank in our community is short of certain food items this year. As a group of college students who are fortunate enough to help, we would like to contribute in any way that we can. According to USA today, one of the possibilities for a shortage on food is that the federal government is buying less fruit, vegetables, meat and

The pantry is ran completely ran by volunteers and receive donations from twenty-two churches either on a weekly or monthly basis. When someone is in need of food they come to the pantry and are given three days worth of emergency food. Boxes are pre-made with numbers up to six on them which represents the number of people that specific box feeds. For example, if a mother of seven comes to the pantry and needs emergency food for her children and herself, she would receive a box with a number six and a box with a number two, feeding eight people

In the article “The Insanity of Our Food Policy” (2013), the author Joseph claims that the food policy of U.S. has long been with illogic, because of Congress attempts to pass a long-stalled extension of the farm bill, would cut back the pitiful support from U.S. citizens who in the lowest level of the people and use this money to continue subsidize a small number of wealthy American farmers. Furthermore, Joseph states that small numbers of Americans have grown extremely wealthy, and they get disproportionate size political power. In addition, the author points out American farmers are the most efficient in the world, but there are still millions of Americans suffer from hunger. At the end of the article, Joseph emphasizes Republicans’ food

Hunger is a big social issue facing America today. According to (“Do Something.com”) 1 out of 6 people face hunger in the US. Also 49 Million Americans Struggle to put food on the table. America is the best country in world, we shouldn’t have so many people hungry. Many people have thought of fixing this problem but one company has found a way to help fix this problem, this company is Feeding America. They have been giving people food since 1979. They’ve helped out 46 million Americans. ( feedingamerica.org )

Hunger stalks America and many other countries. How the world deals with hunger is dependent on cultural attitudes and the understanding of what hunger means to the individual and communities. In the United States, the majority of hungry people are the elderly, children, and the disabled which represent a bloc of people unable to provide for themselves with employment. The understanding that governmental systems and institutions responsible for food insecurity are failing, is becoming mainstream in the population, not the previous idea that agriculture does not produce enough food. How to provide physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to meet dietary needs and food preferences for healthy lives is a problem of political and economic exclusion, social injustice and discrimination (Cunningham 2017, Lecture 1). The right to food security should be an uncompromised right of humanity, no matter the cost to government or agriculture.

When asked the question "who in the United states is food-insecure?" one must first answer the question of what it means to have food security in America. Food security is defined by Edelstein (2010) as "assured access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life, as well as access to enough food that is safe, nutritious, and acquired in a socially acceptable way." (pg. 71). Hunger would then be considered the absence of food. According to statistics by the Feeding America Organization, in 2014 they reported that 48.1 million Americans where considered to be food-insecure, with 32.8 of them being adults while 15.3 were children (2014). I believe that is also important to characterize where exactly Americans are more likely to be in this category. These same statistics also showed that there was a correlation of region when it came to Americans being more food-insecure. This region was shown to be the southern states of the US, as states like Texas, Kentucky and Louisiana all were in the top

Thesis Statement: The number of American that does not have food to eat due to job loss, the economy, and other reasons are constantly growing. If we stuck together and helped one another, we could make that number that is constantly growing, decline.

My shelves were organized in less than 30 minutes, and it does feel better knowing I don't have a six year old can of soup lurking in the back somewhere. Cans rust over time and once you get the system home this gives you a chance to inspect your inventory. You may very well have to incorporate some of the older food into your daily use, and then buy fresh to build the stockpile back up. Inventory is important so inventory and organize at the same time using this system.

Food insecurity is a fact for millions of American every day in our country. Children, adults, and the elderly of all races, living in poverty or in lower middle class families, are at a higher risk of not having enough to eat. The United States, in 2012, used roughly 40% or 915 million acres of all US land as farmland (USDA 2014, 1), yet as a nation we cannot feed all of our people. The American government subsidizes commodity crops, such as corn, wheat, and soy more than any other type of crop in the United States, (This does not include the subsidies directly paid to the meat and dairy industry, which is a whole other paper!). Government subsidies are less common for the production of fresh fruits and vegetables. Government subsidies encourage farmers to grow commodity crops instead of growing fruits and vegetables for consumers at competitive prices creating food insecurity. The cheap production of commodity crops force families in the lower middle class and poverty to choose a diet of processed food, which are less nutritious than fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains causing many of the health problems that we see in the population today.

Vincent Van Gogh’s pull to paint locations and places that had a personal relationship with is well known to most. In the year 1889, Vincent Van Gogh provided us with the painting we all know too well, Starry Night, this painting represents the view Van Gogh had during his time hospitalized in the asylum located in Arles. This painting since the year of 1941, remains in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Throughout this artwork you can see the personal emotion that went into his work, from the boldness in color, his breaststrokes, and composition through out this piece. The Starry Night, to myself is a vast combination of many opposites; simple and complex, plainness and beauty, light and darkness.

I'm not the most privileged being on earth but I am a most compassionate one. My foster mother hailed from Mississippi. We were different in many ways, but she put it all aside to make sure that I was cared for. I decided to take up football my freshman year because I had begun taking a liking to it. I always had a competitive spirit and longed to put it to the test. My foster mother was extremely supportive and was glad that I was doing something worthwhile. I would exhibit the same compassion she had for me a little while later. My sophomore year, I had a friend who struggled with OCD. He didn't acquaint himself with many, yet I was his trustworthy and loyal friend. He was stressed out and decided that he was going to take a break from sports.

When you choose the food you want you need to get non-spoilable foods and canned foods. When choosing food try not to get foods with lots of grease because, that can spoil. When choosing water get jugs full of fresh water and water bottles. Also, get some pans to boil water to purify it and so on. While getting your basic supplies get things you need not stuff you just want. Get clothes, medicine, tools, cooking supplies, blankets, and flashlights and etc. The more stuff you grab the more prepared you will be but you will be slower. So just be careful for what you do when getting your supplies.
