Nick Saul argues in his Ted Talk that solving the problem of hunger is not as simple as providing food in the short term. Food insecurity is a symptom of larger issues of systemic and generational poverty and wealth inequality. Saul claims that the best way to solve these larger problems is to get invested further- in your local food bank, in your community, in your local government, and in larger, national policy conversations. This week’s assignment is simple: Read the information about the Wake Tech Food Bank, “The Nest”, here: “The Nest” Food Bank (Opens in New Window) Compose a short, informal message to me, Professor M., letting me know your thoughts on how you and I, and other Wake Tech community members, could invest further. What can be done, beyond providing food, to invest further in empowering and aiding our community members? This assignment will be graded as complete or incomplete. All submissions are welcome.
