Living in Grand Rapids has opened my eyes to a national problem that plagues inner cities that have been forgotten and left behind. Big box stores have taken over the mom & pop shops that used to thrive in these old neighborhoods that used to be filled with fresh produce. They are now filled with beer and twinkies. That does not sound like a good dinner to me. Check out this video about the Let’s Move campaign.
How to feed the world ?
I often sit around talking about this very question, “How do we feed the world ?”. To take it further I am often faced with the problem of unequal distribution. My roommate just arrived back from a year in Nigeria, Africa where he lived in an area where this distribution problem was effecting him every day. This video is an interesting visualization to one perspective that has a direct and tangible way we can change the world we live in for the better.
