The biggest issue with food security is being able to afford fresh foods. There is a huge population in the United States that is living in poverty. Often times, families with low incomes must resort to cheap fast food as their primary source of food. Most people don't realize that fresh food is available at a cheap price. Farmer's Markets are located in every city and are easily accessable to the public. Other families cannot even afford to feed every member of their family and must sacrifice a meal throughout the day. It is important to fund an education on nutritional value and list resources for these foods. Also, it is so easy to volunteer some time to help prepare foods at a shelter or donate any excess foods available at home.
