Food Banks

Just last night I found an article on food banks that correlated with my theme of should poor social class deserve poor foods. I think morally we all agree no one should deseevre to get less healthy foods if they don't want it. This article talked about a woman named Lola Lathon who was 5'2 and two hundred and twenty four pounds and she was not financially able to pay for foods at the grocery markets like whole foods, walmarts', targets', sprouts', and other big corporations'. she was suffering from type two diabetes and she was stuck on the thought that some nights she couldn't afford to feed her self and her kids. So because she wasn't able to afford the grocery stores she was forced to buy her nutrition from the food banks. For people who don't know what food banks are they are a place where stocks of food normally basic food a non- perishable items which are supplied free of charge to people in need. They are typically are done at churches in your city. The article taught me in the year 2014 17.4 million people in america where lacking enough food to feed their whole family. Also their is a big percentage of that statistic that has parents thinking where their next meal if for there kids and not even including themselves. The food from the food bank is cheap and available for a lot of people but it is very often low in fiber and "rich in carbohydrates", which can lead to type to diabetes. I haven't fully did my second read but I can pull a lot from this article and talk about the quality from the quantity. I can talk about should the government step in to help?
