Let's Start this Quiz

Food security means being in a sustainable situation of having safe, nutritious food. Most Americans may not concern themselves about what they will be eating tomorrow, while millions across the globe fight against hunger and malnutrition every day. In America as well, food deserts, which are places of limited availability of good food, affect families. Climate, war, and poverty in the world make this problem worse. Take this quiz to verify what you believe about reasons of food insecurity, its impact on one's health, and what should be done so that people at least get to take a bite.
