September 27, 2020 - Food for Thought

"Health CANNOT be a question of income; it is a fundamental human right." Nelson Mandela No parent should have to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table for their children. But, sadly they do. No one should be go hungry in the most 2nd agriculturally diverse state. But, sadly they do. Racial and health disparities are tightly interwoven with the lack of access to high quality healthcare and food insecurity. Join Dr. Phil Knight, Gerry Brisson, President & CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank and Dr. Robert Bouvier, MD. who is an Internal Medicine Specialist in Flint, MI as they discuss how to be a part of the solution, not the problem. This is Part II of a III part series about the intersection of health disparities and food security. Tune in at 10:00 PM on WJR Radio or NewsTalk 760 AM. “Food First” has been Dr. Bouvier's battle-cry for years, so much that it inspired the meaning behind this show. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (HON) food is one of the most important basic needs along with sleep and water. The HON is so fundamental in understanding ourselves and our needs that at some point virtually every other theory of social development attaches itself to Maslow. If we take hunger OFF the table and meet the primary need of food security, our society changes for the positive! We do this by PUTTING and KEEPING FOOD FIRST! #FoodSecurity #MoreFoodMoreOften2MorePeople #FoodFirst
