The problem that I have chosen to solve was to decrease the amount of food insecure families in Columbus, Ohio. One theory I have chosen to be able to obtain my desirable outcome is to start out with easier access to healthy food - this will cause less consumption of junk food and empty calorie food - improvement of physical health and feelings of hunger - less food insecure families. According to Houston Methodist, empty calories can provide a brief feeling of energy but will not supply you with any essential nutrients or give you a lasting feeling of fullness. These calories will be then stored as fat. (Macullum, 2021). So as mentioned in my theory, consuming less of these foods and more nutrient dense foods will help decrease the feeling of being hungry. Food insecurity can mean a household has food, but the food does not have the adequate nutrients
