Feed the Children “O Canada my [mother’s] home and native land!” The best part about having a Canadian mother, is having TWO Thanksgivings. This past weekend my family celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving and stuffed ourselves full of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and all the fixings. After the festivities, food and naps, it was time to drive home. On my way home I realized how spoiled I was to participate in a holiday where we overindulge on food. I noticed a semi-truck that had “Feed the Children” written on the side. Immediately I was reminded of the food insecurity that exits in America. We are aware of food insecurity in third world countries, but we often are oblivious to the need within our own country and our own neighborhoods.
