Healthy eating shouldn’t be out of reach. Filmmaker Lori Silverbush and chef Tom Colicchio want every family to have access to the food they need to thrive.
Several years ago, while at a juvenile jail doing research for an upcoming film, I met a bright and charming 13-year-old who regularly cycled in and out of the place. She avidly awaited my visits because she knew I would bring her books that engaged her active mind much more than her sad and boring surroundings did. Once, I asked her why someone as curious as she was would keep returning. She answered, “In here, I get three meals a day.” I was stunned.
My husband, Tom, and I have donated to and raised money for hunger-related charities over the years, but my work as a filmmaker opened my eyes and got me wondering: Why wasn’t the record amount of money being raised doing more to stop hunger? According to a 2013 U.S. Department of Agriculture study, more Americans than ever before—over 49 million— were food insecure. Shouldn’t the numbers have been going down instead of up?
