Food corporations look to those who have recognizable credentials. By explaining that she lacked sufficient background knowledge and is a well-informed as a common person, Miller proves that she has nothing of value that they can learn. In her article, she mentions that she “cautiously raise a subject that has concerned me of late: less than five miles away, some children don’t have enough to eat” (2). Her experience with families lacking healthy food has only recently become an issue of worry for her, and thereby is not qualified to present new solutions to the problem. Through failing to build up a credible relationship with her target audience, Miller’s argument becomes a waste and is an inefficiency.
In short, many people around the United States suffer from food instability and hunger. People can’t always help the situations they are in, but there are things almost everyone can do to help the hunger situation in
“I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.” As a chef and supporter of the organic food movement, Alice Waters has taken it upon herself the responsibility of informing the public and school children on the importance of cooking both locally and sustainably grown food. Her passion for a “good, clean, and fair” food economy and the way she advocates for it has resulted in many contributions to the foodservice industry. She started with the future of our society and culture: children. In 1996 Alice Waters created the Edible Schoolyard at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Middle School.
Child Hunger in America Anna Quindlen, author of “School’s Out For Summer”, noticed there was a problem of child hunger in America. “If there was, we would know about it. We would read about it in the paper, we would see it on the news. And of course we would stop it. In America.”

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it's almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.
The Food Industry The food industry is the worldwide diversified industry which has to do with anything relevant with food from food education to marketing but principally the industry produces and or provides food to essentially all people on the planet. The only people who are excluded from the food industry are self-sustaining farmers and hunter-gatherers. It is one of the largest industries in the world and continues to grow because people need food and the population is increasing every day. In America, the food industry possesses such an important role, yet there are so many problems within the industry which is ruining the society as we know it.
Today in a country known as the land of the plenty, there are millions of children going to bed with an empty stomach. Thanks to free school lunches, those millions of children know that they will at least eat one meal a day, but that is still not enough to get a child through the day without starving. A child not knowing when or if he or she will have their next meal can affect their health and their ability to learn. In order to prevent child hunger, government should create more domestic food programs that provide families with non-perishable foods that will satisfy a families nutritional needs. Secondly, in order to prevent child hunger there needs to be a program created that will provide summer meals for low-income families..
The intention and purpose of creating posters and pamphlets is that the students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the importance of not wasting food in their school and at home and show ways in which they can be a part of the solution and not the problem.

They can become the spokespeople for this problem and influence their peers, parents, and community for positive change. Description of
For students who are struggling with this issue that live on campus they will have the opportunity to use their peers meal credits. Once the month is up any student who has unused meal credits can donate them to an organization for students who are struggling with finding a reliable source for food. These struggling students then will be able to use the donated meal credits to eat whichever food they have on campus. A solution for students who don’t live on campus is to have food pantries. Which are where people donate food or organizations get food and put them in boxes for students to have for free.
