Describe the challenge you want to address:
I think free food or even food in the supermarkets should be looked at closely. The food in the Bronx, especially the procedure is terrible. They do give out free food at food banks but it needs to be better quality. It targets band and probably why it goes to quickly. I don't even eat fruit or veggies from the Bronx. We need healthier food for healthier bodies and minds. All people have is processed food and sugar. We have bodegas at every corner.
What is the solution to the challenge?
I think we not only better food banks with healthier produce, we need it everywhere. We need more options for healthier options with supermarkets. Stores maybe 24/hr food banks for unhoused people for emergencies do give out food even if its snacks.
