Access to Nutrition

 In New York there are over 91,000 people who are homeless on any given night. That is jus over 16 % of the population. As you can see homelessness is a major issue not only in New York but all over the Nation. Many people who are homeless are occupied with trying to find a place to sleep, get some money, and food to eat. It is more important that they find food rather than if the food is nutritional. According to the World Health Organization people should be eating at least 400g of fruit and vegetables. I bet a handful of people who aren't homelessness don't meet the nutritional guidelines. If it is hard for someone who has resources such as a job, house, and work to eat nutritional food. Now imagine how hard it would be for someone who doesn't have those resources or they are limited.
