Hunger On the Rise in Canada

The number of people who are malnourished and chronically hungry people in Canada is growing at an alarming rate. This report says that provincial and federal changes to need to be made to protect these peoples income security. The panel said that business must pay their employees enough money so they can afford to buy nutritional food. The number of people going to drop-in center's food center has risen a lot. A single food center has doubled the amount of meals that is giving out a day (100 meals to 200 meals). In March alone across Canada food banks helped 867,948 people.


The number of people going hungry is unacceptable. The government should step in and start to help these people. I think that the government should either raise the income of these people or invest in more income security programs, because too many business are paying their employees to low of a salary to have a nutritious meal.
