Problem:
Not everyone has access to a healthy meal, be it either because of economic reasons, time constraints, or preference (fast food), the number of people who go through their day without the proper nutrition is significant. Not only is this inconvenient to them on a daily basis, but it also has serious long-term consequences that affect everything from their health to their education, their careers, and their lives. This isn't only a personal problem, but it is also a societal problem overall.
