Food Security Blog - M.Mi.

We went to Mercy Core and they taught us about the four tenets of food security. Food Availability, that there is food in the community. Food Access, When you can access the food in the community. Food Utilization, the proper storage and cooking of food to get the most nutrition out of it. Risk Management, when you are prepared for a natural/economic/political/religious/hobolistic/ecological disaster. Then we played a “game cindove like jeopardy game.” It was nothing at all like jeopardy. We also had a guest speaker who showed us pictures. The pictures showed different families from different countries. They each had out all of the food they would eat in a week. It showed that we have to much packaging. Then she showed pictures of when she went to other countries and helped them. She gave them utensils and tooth brushes and ideas and health care supplies and flashes when she took pictures. Then she showed us food that they eat and deficiencies of nutrition. They were creepy.
