Notes

Abstract: In order to be in good shape, one must have a good and healthy diet. The failure to eat healthy foods leads to poor health; therefore, understanding the causes and consequences of food insecurity and finding a solution are of great significance. The purpose of this project is to examine the geography of food-insecure households and estimate the health problems caused by food insecurity among children in Denton, Texas. The methodology includes, first, a thorough review of the literature from articles that answer these specific questions. The findings from reviewing different articles were that the principal cause of food insecurity was poverty. Also, people exposed with food insecurity have serious health issues such as depression and anxiety. Secondly, two staff members at two North Texas agencies that address the issues of food insecurity in Denton were interviewed about issues related to food insecurity in the region. The results of those two interviews are reported.
