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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

One of the main issues plaguing the American people is the increase in the amount of food we consume. This undesired trend is among the chief reasons behind America’s

Some management says that overstocking is necessary. Stuart explains this when he says, “Retailers do not want to run out of food. It makes the shop look shabby, for one, and it means lost sales” (5). It is understandable that grocers do not want to risk of running out of food; however, overstocking is a wasteful method to insure an abundance of food is available.

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.

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.

You want the freshest food possible for emergencies to ensure the food does not expire during the crisis. It takes organization, and some effort to move cans around, read the labels, move the cans back into place, and it takes room on the pantry shelf to do it properly.

In America, we are constantly surrounded by abundance. Food is a prevalent waste item in the United States. Most people do not think about the resources it took to produce, transport, and prepare the food they throw away. Our food waste is not actually just trash; it is the key to human survival. Ordinary consumers can change the future with one small action: to stop wasting food. Actions at the individual level can decrease food waste and feed those in need. Twenty five percent of purchased food is thrown away. (TED) Often this is because food has spoiled, but it can be for other reasons such as oversupply, misread labels, or individual consumer shopping and eating habits. http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3347e/i3347e.pdf
