When I put these images together, I was thinking about the terrible lunches I had growing up. They were gross: high fat, high calories, no fresh vegetables or fruit. Basically, they were designed to be as cheap as possible and as filling as possible. Teachers always complained that students were so tired and unfocused after lunch. I think this sluggishness was a result of the food they were eating.

Also, the image with the fighting broccoli and chocolate bar made me think about the problem. The problem isn't just availability it's also education. For example, in the garden project that Michelle Obama spearheaded, students actually planted their own vegetables, harvested them, and prepared them to eat. Everyone was excited to eat the vegetable that they help grow and prepare.

These pictures recall the memories of meals that I had in high school. The food taste at my school is not very good, and there are limited varieties we can choose from, sometimes I don't like all of them. But I have to choose one with a price that is not comparatively cheap. I usually bring snacks that are high-calorie and low-nutrition to school; otherwise, I don't have anything to eat. My host parent, who I live together, are busy at work, and most of the time, they are not willing to make dinner at home; they usually buy fast food on the way home. Sometimes, schoolchildren don't have many choices of food. However, the nutritional needs at that age should be ample.

Xianhui Shao: Food Insecurity in Limited-Income Families: Struggling to Make Ends Meet

# data[].attributes.body
The images I selected highlight the food security challenges faced by limited-income families. The first image shows a family in a kitchen with an empty pantry, symbolizing the difficulty in maintaining an adequate food supply due to financial constraints. This visual directly reflects the experience of many limited-income families who struggle to afford enough food on a regular basis.

The second visual is an infographic that highlights statistics on the percentage of families living under the poverty line and experiencing food insecurity. It shows how financial limitations often correlate with limited access to healthy, nutritious food, further exacerbating food insecurity.

Additionally, I included an image of a food bank, which is often a crucial resource for these families. However, food banks alone are not a sustainable solution and cannot always provide the variety and nutritional value needed for families, particularly those with children or health conditions.

The final image is a chart comparing food prices in relation to household income. This shows how much of a limited-income family’s budget goes towards food, illustrating the financial strain and difficult choices these families must make—choosing between food, rent, utilities, or other essential needs.

These visuals were chosen to convey the multiple challenges limited-income families face in securing enough nutritious food. From financial barriers to reliance on food assistance, these factors contribute to the ongoing issue of food insecurity.

Ivan：People with Disability and transportation issue

The image depicts a man in a wheelchair facing a staircase outside a building that has no barrier-free access. Thinking about how to get around the obstacle highlights the accessibility challenges faced by people with limited mobility.

This picture shows that we still do not pay enough attention to groups with special needs. Many places do not have barrier-free access, which makes it difficult for groups with special needs to go outside.

Now many supermarkets have supporting measures to deal with people with limited mobility, but many disabled people still have difficulty buying fresh food. This is because many disabled people cannot work and can only rely on government assistance. In addition, there are more and more cars on the road, especially in areas where public transportation is not well developed. The time cost for disabled people to go out to buy food will be very high, which will make them rarely go out or refuse to go out, so their food safety cannot be guaranteed.

This situation has led to many disabled people relying on takeout to survive. If they only rely on takeout to survive, the biggest problem is that food safety cannot be guaranteed. Some small workshops will cut corners and use inferior ingredients, leading to food safety problems

These figures show the food problems faced by school children. However, during holidays, many children are lose access to have free launch, leading to food insecurity question.

This image relates to my topic of food insecurity among elderly individuals living alone by portraying the isolation and vulnerability they often experience. Many elderly individuals face physical and emotional challenges that can limit their ability to access or prepare nutritious meals. The image serves as a reminder of the barriers they encounter, such as mobility issues, lack of transportation, and the absence of nearby family or social support systems.

I chose this image because it visually communicates the loneliness and challenges that can contribute to food insecurity. It emphasizes the importance of creating solutions that not only provide food access but also address the broader needs of this population, including emotional well-being and community connection.
