Food insecurity affects millions of people globally, including within developed countries.

Here's a trivia fact:

In the United States, over 50 million people, including nearly 17 million children, struggle with food insecurity, meaning they don't always have access to enough nutritious food to maintain a healthy life.

Some Quotes from the Episode:

"If I'm preparing my kid for the future, I'm not preparing him to have the jobs that exist now because those jobs, I expect them to be gone if the world keeps progressing."

"If I see a problem, I believe I can solve it and am capable of recognizing and implementing solutions."
