Discourse, according to Dictionary.com, means “communication of thought by words; talk; conversation,” and community is a social group that has members.

    The foods you find at stores such as 7/11 or gas stations are not meant to be the food that you come home to sit at your dinner table and eat. As Lemley Weidenbener said in Lawmakers Bill Aims to Eradicate Food Deserts “ And they (the convenience stores) don’t offer enough to be a good source of food.” Because these are not quality nutritional foods, we need to construct a place where citizens can get better quality. Instead of going to a real store and buying apples these people go into a gas station and buy a candy bar for a snack.…

Their last step would be to figure out how long it would take to eat the food and return to school.…

    Students in Chicago Public Schools were not pleased with their free lunchroom food- not that they are being too picky but because the food is outright "disgusting, unhealthy, unappetizing and overly processed. " When these kids' palate cannot take it anymore, they did something revolutionary; they took the issue of school cafeteria food in the internet. Every meal in nearly every CPS lunchroom is made by the district and are given free to every student. With the federally subsidized program's intention of having kids coming from low-income families benefit from free meals, ending mountains of sometimes fraudulent lunch paperwork, moving lunch lines faster, and making it easier for everyone to get a school meal, officials expected to see an…
