Why are we so overweight in America if we suffering from food insecurity?

[@Fadedevryday5476]

Because processed food is cheaper than healthy food. That and some disadvantaged neighborhoods are over a mile away and some people don’t have the transportation or means to drive to the nearest grocery stores. That is also why a lot of people end up buying their food from the corner liquor store 💀😂

The challenge is to make sure everyone can access it. Well said. Lets create legislation that madates food distribution from farmers to the public. Harvest is freely given by God, our Creator (Genesis 1:29). Therefore, it should be freely given to his creation. At least 10% to food banks
