Saturday 9/9 (3 points)

1. Rhee explains that she has to drive 45 minutes

from her small town in Mississippi to reach a fully

stocked grocery store, and Barbie has to travel

over an hour each way on a bus. How far do you

have to travel to reach a grocery store? How do you

think proximity changes eating choices and

behaviors?

2. In the film we learn that in the '60s, there was

huge push to end childhood hunger that resulted in

free breakfast and lunch programs, senior meal

programs and the expansion of food stamps. As a

result, by the late '70s, hunger was basically

eradicated. Why do you think hunger has come

back as such a pressing issue in our country? Based

on what you know about our country's relationship

with food security, consumerism, and waste do you

think ending hunger is a possibility today? Why or

why not?

3. Marion Nestle explains that "we are spending

$20 billion a year on agricultural subsidies for the

wrong food." If you had $20 billion to address food

production, what would you do with it?
