Just Food
Food is for all, not the few
Hunger, poverty and food prices are inextricably linked.
Not every poor person is hungry, but almost all hungry people are poor.
Millions live with hunger and malnourishment because they simply cannot afford to buy enough food,
cannot afford nutritious foods or cannot afford the farming supplies they need to grow enough good food of their own.
Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty.
It is often called the most severe and critical manifestation of poverty.
Eating healthy is an important life lesson.
Kids go to school to learn, and part of what they learn about is healthy food and nutrition.
Even if what they learn about nutrition isn’t ideal due to the food industry’s influence on what is taught,
the food served at school should set a healthy example.
Students may like unhealthy foods, but the hypocrisy is not lost on them when schools serve food that is not healthy.
