- Should America provide more funding for SNAP? If so, how much of an increase? If not, how does the current funding seem appropriate?
America should provide more money for snap because clearly it is not enough, and that seems to be the reason why hunger has increased overtime because snap has been cut to fund the No Kid Hungry Campaign and other food programmes, which keeps coming back to the same situation hunger but I feel if S.N.A.P was increased it would not only help parents who struggle with hunger but also their kids and their education. Healthy children would lead to a great generation in future..
- How should Americans define “food insecurity?” How should Americans define “starving? What solutions can Americans use to overcome food insecurity and starving in America?
Food insecurity surely is people not knowing where their next meal is going to come from, and this is a frustrating situation because people in this situation have no idea what to do. Starving is detrimental to health, people who even eat once a day can also be defined as been starved. America should define what is important to the country a healthy generation in future or a future that has already been withered away by starvation. America should cut funds from the market of processed food and give those funds to the market of fresh good food and also increase S.N.A.P and other food programmes.
- Do you live in a food desert? How can America feed people who live in food deserts?

- Should America rely on charities to feed the hungry? How much of a reliance?
America should not rely on charity to feed the hungry because America is the richest country this is a test and we just have to prove ourselves by defeating hunger so the government put in more effort to eliminate hunger than rely on charity.
- In what ways can America better subsidize the farming industry and its crop production?
Create farming subsidies especially among food desert areas.
- What are the most common myths and misconceptions about those who depend on food banks and other food assistance programs?
No one should rely on food banks or even the government all the time, get out look for something to do try developing ideas to become better and not get to rely on food assistance.
