We begin with this most basic of human needs for a reason, as it is foundational to our well-being and resiliency. Good, healthy, and sustainable food should be a human right, but unfortunately instead there are people going hungry all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was reminded yet again to be grateful for my own food security this week as I unloaded my weekly groceries into the pantry and fridge and flipped on the radio. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pri.org\/stories\/2021-07-27\/climate-change-driving-worst-drought-madagascar-has-seen-four-decades\">A story<\/a> about the climate change-caused famine in Madagascar came on, outlining the dire conditions people are facing there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here I am, putting away the $200 of mostly organic food I&#8217;ve just purchased at the local Food Co-Op, which will feed my family of four for a week, and aren&#8217;t we incredibly lucky to have that?  Here, in a wealthy country, we can easily take food for granted. Of course, that&#8217;s not true for everyone in this nation of income and resource inequality: an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingamerica.org\/hunger-in-america\">42 million people in America are food insecure and hungry.<\/a> So I really want to remember and to be grateful for the blessings of good food that I do receive, as well as reach out compassionately to those without and work to make the whole food system more just and sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a large and complex issue! Join me here this month as I explore it more. I&#8217;ll bring some of  the exercises and reflections from the <a href=\"https:\/\/revsaralewis.com\/?page_id=59\">12 Movements program<\/a> to this space, as well as other resources, reflections, and ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May we all find greater resiliency, together.
