Short Blog 4- comment on Victoria Santana’s Long Blog 1

Hi Victoria! I really enjoyed your piece and the personal element you incorporated through your experiences working to fight food insecurity. This aspect makes the story feel authentic and brings awareness to the reality of hunger in Toronto. I was surprised to read about the strong correlations between mental illness and food insecurity, especially in college students. The study you highlighted shows alarming numbers and allows the readers to grasp the severity of the problem, one some may have not realized was so prevalent in certain groups. I am definitely going to research community fridges in my area and I appreciate your piece as an educational wake up call.
