12/8/2017 0 Comments Blog post #6In this past week, my class was lucky enough volunteer at Kitchens For Good. Kitchens For Good is a company that takes people in unfavorable situations, such as aged out of the foster system or even homeless, and trains them to be professional chefs. This helps them to get jobs at professional locations, such as high end restaurants and hotels. They hold a workshop for a couple months (I think it was 12 weeks but I can’t quite remember) and at the end, every single student knows how to cook, act in a professional setting, and have a job somewhere in San Diego. During our time at Kitchens For Good, we learned about food security, food distribution, and food waste. Some things I learned were that the U.S produces 4 times the amount of food we need for everyone to be able to eat, yet 12% if our country is not getting enough food. The game we played involved what we learned about food security as well as food distribution. We were all given bowls of grapes with different amounts in them. For example, mine had one, my friend Vic had a lot (he was supposed to represent the top 1%), and my friend Deborah had none. We had 2 minutes to distribute in a way that was more even. Luckily, my group did it easily, and we had 45 seconds to spare, but the teacher told us that’s not usually the case. Usually people with more don’t want to share, and that truly does represent American wealth and food distribution. After that, my group got to go back to the kitchen and help pre-package food that was to be distributed to those in need the next day.
