My name is Darryl Ruiz and I’m an Iraqi Freedom Veteran majoring in paralegal studies at New York College of Technology. I grew an interest on the topic of food insecurity after conducting a research project for an English course. After learning about the severity of food insecurity especially in the United States I realize that this information is imperative to know. My goal by initiating this blog is to spread the word about these alarming facts and what it is that contributes to this disparity in our modern society.
