Defining the Right to Food
“[Right to food is] rights to healthy food. It is access to good, fresh produce and good meats. That’s not the case in some of these poor, small towns that only have, like, a Dollar General. The right to food is access to good food, not just food. Good food.”
-Anonymous, Wheeling, WV
“I believe that everyone should have the right to get food when they need it.”
- Heather M., Clarksburg, WV
