will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
Tonight I had some visitors, two little people that I've known before they were born. As I raced home thinking about what I could fix for dinner that wouldn't distract me to the point that I would falter and eat it up in a frenzy, I thought about the moms making their way home who don't have a choice. For them skipping a meal means they can feed their kids - When I look in my cupboard and silently complain that I can't decide what to cook it's easy to forget that there are people, parents, who don't have enough. Are you are as doubtful as I am? It is in fact why child hunger is lower than it might be because parents do what they can to shield their kids from hunger.
Hunger and food insecurity are problems in a small population, but should that make us feel better about it? More than 94% of households have enough food- but it's that 6% that keeps me up at night. What do our policy makers need to know to push them beyond politics?
