What's The Biggest Risk You've Ever Taken? How does it connect to helping others? - I don't have one. But when I was little I was swimming and I just into the river. How often do you eat fast food and what is your reasoning for consuming fast food? - not a lot. Once a...

The main thing is not having the best food at school which makes me not want to eat. I would like to eat a salad from school but they run out really quickly, also vending machines at my school have pretty healthy options unlike most schools we have juice and water and not soda. When I am really hungry I walk 8 minutes to Westwood village and spend $4 on a little thing of fruit that I do not think is a reasonable price for food and the most inexpensive foods are the unhealthiest.

Well I have to pay for lunch but that’s really it. At school the pizza is better than they were in middle school but about half of the food at this school I eat and the rest is DISGUSTING!

Some kids probably don’t have enough money to afford food. I know people who survive off of school food.

If I could describe FEEST in one word I would use “family” because when I came in today for the first time, everyone was friendly and kind to me I felt like I was accepted for everything I was, I was comfortable and loved it.

I did attend the school food tasting day! I had a very good experience with the samples and how everything was tasted so fresh and just right. I was proud that FEEST could have such an opportunity to do something like that because it changes the way everyone thinks about school food dishes.

A Visit from Overlake
What was fascinating was watching the spectrum start to spread itself throughout the room, students from Redmond, Washington only a mere 23 miles from our students in White Center, Washington had a different perspective on food, how it is accessed or what they knew to be true in our lives. It was a powerful activity that allows both sides to look at security in the face and open a discussion about it.
