I think food security is an issue in all communities. I think it's probably worse in remote communities like yours, where it's much more expensive.
I go back to the idea that a calorie is an energy unit. We need to provide kids with energy and the nutrients they need to grow. Their brains need it. Their bodies need it. To me, it's integral to good mental and physical health to be able to have food.
Families are not always able to.... There are some great community opportunities to provide community fridges and things, which can help as well.
