First, I would just like to point out that our shirts say “beet hunger” on them, and I think that’s wonderful. This morning, I helped work Interfaith Food Shuttle’s educational booth at the Wakemed Raleigh farmer’s market with three NC State interns above. I showed our visitors the poster to the left of us, which matches bags full of sugar to sodas that contain that amount. After shocking them with the visualization, we offered samples of a much healthier option (in the pitcher next to me), a concoction of pure orange juice and seltzer water. This farmer’s market is held at Wakemed Raleigh, which is a food desert, every Tuesday over the summer, and helps facilitate access to fresh healthy food for people of all income levels. Interfaith matches the amount of money spent from EBT cards (food stamps), so those purchasing with SNAP benefits can afford fresh local foods. Tonight, I will attend one of Interfaith’s Cooking Matters classes for Hispanic families.
