Forgot Something!

The consequences of urban food insecurity affect really every aspect of ones life. You are what you eat, if a certain area does not have access to nutritional food, they will suffer physically and mentally. Eating unhealthily can cause to major health risks like obesity, heart disease, diabetes. Eating habits also affect thought productivity and attentiveness. It's a vicious cycle, if one does not eat well they will be tired and distracted and will not be paying attention at work or school, preventing them (to an extent) from reaching their full potential. The problem is, many people do not really have the chance to truly choose what they eat. They eat what is available to them. When an entire community is denied proper nutrition they are denied the right to reach their full potential.
