Emergency Food Case Summary

Emergency food is not a solution to the U.S food insecurity problem because they are insufficient, inappropriate, unstable, and condemning.

This solution is insufficient because there is not enough food to be distributed. We saw how Barbie was trying to apply for food stamps, but she was rejected. There simply is not enough food or stamps to distribute to everyone, so even though she was in need of stamp because she was insecure, the government would not grant it. We saw how emergency food is inappropriate when Rosie’s teacher brought her food but she was guilty because the food were all processed, sugar-filled, snacks. Basically, all things Rosie did not need. It kind of just sends a message to those that “baggers can’t be choosers”
