Problem
I. According to Odem-Young's (2019) article, what are the long-term ramifications of food insecurity on society as a whole? And how does structural racism play a role in perpetuating the disparities in food security among people of color and their more privileged counterparts?
II. Roncarolo and Potvin (2016) write their article from a medical perspective in their discussion about food insecurity as a symptom of a bigger societal issue. They propose that food banks are a short-term solution that fails to directly address the root causes of food insecurity. Explain the idea that food insecurity is a symptom of a "social disease". What social disease are the authors referring to? What solutions do the authors propose that may lead to long-lasting change to help food insecure individuals be more self-sustaining and self-sufficient?
III. Lastly, list six reasons why access to healthy food supports learning, growth and development in the young child. You may pull this information from your course text.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
