Here we are on day two of the Hunger Challenge (has it really only been two days?) and some of us are holding up better than others. A few participants have gone over budget, while others are somehow still way below. Snacks and coffee seem to be the hardest food items for people to live without (unless you budgeted for home-roasted espresso like one of our food bloggers). While there have been lots of creative recipes and shopping tips shared, the conversations being sparked by the Hunger Challenge are truly amazing. United Way of King County pulled this event together to raise awareness about hunger in King County and our local food bloggers have definitely gotten the conversation started. A few highlights from today’s posts:
From 1 Family Friendly Food: I’m glad to see your whole family involved! It seems like everyone who is taking the challenge, while not necessarily struggling, is really appreciating the food they have a lot more.
From Cook & Eat: I think this is really a great exercise. I’m going on a vacation this week to Italy so there is no way I’m going to be able to do the challenge during this week, but I think this is something worth doing regardless of the challenge week. At some point it becomes so easy to be able to buy things that you forget that it’s not so easy for everyone. Plus with the crisis going on there is still a good chance that it might be happening to us too. What better way to be aware and prepare ourselves then this challenge?
From Mirch Masala: This whole challenge is really impressive, and the sincerity in which you are taking to it, even more! Good luck with the rest of the week
