Your research concerning childhood food insecurity was eye-opening and extremely interesting to me. I have a passion for global health which in the US, especially in rural and lower socioeconomic areas which spans the issue of food insecurity. Investigating food insecurity within North Carolina brings the issue much closer to home and learning about what the informants stated was upsetting yet fascinating. Recognizing that the informants came from different backgrounds (government, community, etc.), one of my main questions refers to if people from the same group tended to similar answers to questions or if they had similar solutions for problems you posed. It would be interesting to see if government informants claim that one barrier to childhood food insecurity is more emphasized than what religious informants believe is the main barrier. When reading your community-level and system-level recommendations, I wondered if these have been implemented anywhere else in the United States and if so, what results they garnered. Again, your research was incredibly interesting and startling to me and I hope to hear from you soon.
Your research is so detailed and well-founded. I could see how to come from causes to solutions at different levels. It made my day to see such project dedicated to children, who are the future of our world. Thank you so much for this and congratulations.
