Food Insecurities For Homeless People

Everyone is different and holds their own perceptions on life, but through the hustle and bustle of life sometimes are conscious minds forget about those that are less fortunate and don’t have the means to provide for themselves. We associate these people as homeless, people living on the streets and in shelters, when in reality the people that are suffering with food insecurities are being overlooked. It is those people that fit the “mold” of society where they have a job and a family that are being overlooked. With all of the expenses that pile up to survive, they are unable to contribute to the expense of food. Walking through the grocery store, you have different “classes” of people that shop. There are those that get carts full of groceries
and then there are those that have to look at every price and see if they can afford it. People that endure food insecurity blend into society as being “normal” so people don’t recognize the big picture of the problem. Society is overlooking the problem immensely because many people take advantage of the food they are given. Sitting in the cafeteria watching students walk by, many people are getting way too much food and then they are throwing half of it away. They are also getting food and after they realize they don’t like it they just throw it away. People are just thinking about themselves when they do this and aren’t taking into account those that are struggling to just be able to put food in their mouths since you just threw away half your food. Overall, society may realize the people with food insecurities, but they aren’t reflecting on how they are contributing to the factor.
