/as a serious world issue, hidden hunger must be addressed and a solution must be developed. This issue is as important as hunger in general as it causes health issues with the same degree of pain.

I receive ODSP. Although I receive a drug card, not all of my medications are covered, and I have to pay for them out of pocket. I have tried to get the province to cover 2 of my necessary medications in order to have some quality of life, and even appealed but have had no success. The money that I put towards my medications ($200.00) comes out of my meager food budget, which sends me to the food banks. The food banks don't have what I need because of numerous food allergies. It's a round and round circle. DO SOMETHING!

The current and future health cost related to people forced to live in poverty far outstrip the cost of ensuring that people have enough to provide the basic necessities of life including adequate housing and healthy food.

When I had to go on OW due to illness (and denied ODSP, like so many), my new worker warned me I still would go hungry. It's true. It took far longer for me to recover because of malnutrition. Now, I'm hypoglycemic but can't manage my blood sugar properly because of heavy food rationing. These low OW rates are actually counter-productive! How can I find work or take care of my medical needs when I'm too hungry to focus on cognitive tasks or do anything physical for more than an hour or two a day

I think its very important to raise the monthly income to include healthy food. I am on assistance, my rent is 580 a month. That leaves me 12 dollars for food, which can buy me milk and 3 pounds of hamburger, the rest of food for the month I have to get from my local food bank. Which has been left over halloween candy and canned soup! I have recently found out I have diabeties! The cost of hydro and living has sky rocketed! Not to mention the cost of food! How are we suppose to live?

It's time to shift our collective priorities from the 1% to the 99%. Time to address basic needs over corporate bailouts and welfare for the rich. Time for the "Warren Buffet" tax and a return to progressive and redistributive tax system that put the needs of children, and most marginalized citizen first.
