Today's Takeaways:
Interrupt Hunger’s Mission: Focus on preventing chronic disease, feeding the hungry, and fostering community.
Community Collaboration is Key: Change starts by working together—teaching essential skills like cooking, gardening, and movement while giving back.
A Look at the Past vs. Today: Several generations ago, nearly 40% of produce came from home gardens. Today, ultra-processed foods and additives have changed the nutritional landscape.
Modern Health Challenges: 8 out of 10 leading causes of death are linked to poor nutrition. Approximately 73% of Americans struggle with obesity, 12% face food insecurity, and 30% experience social isolation.
Empowering Through Education: Teaching practical skills, such as gardening, empowers people to provide nutritious food for themselves and their families.
Building Sustainable Community Programs: Successful change involves partnering with schools, local governments, and community organizations (e.g., school and employee gardens).
Bill says, “We're hungry to be healthy” and “Get addicted to helping others.” This best encapsulates the call for a community-driven approach to health and wellness.
