Food is the subject of the next edition of Insight: providing for those who are struggling to keep enough food on the table, and how to prepare delicious meals that are healthy and nutritious. While many people take for granted having sufficient nutritious food for themselves and their families, others aren’t quite as fortunate. That’s where the Harvest Hope Food Bank comes in. The food bank endeavors to provide food for those without enough of it “with dignity, compassion and education,” according to Nicole Echols, community development coordinator for Harvest Hope of the Pee Dee in Florence. She said the demand for food among the needy increases this time of year and her organization is struggling to keep up with the demand.
The incidence of diabetes is rampant in the Pee Dee and along the Grand Strand. In addition to talking with Nicole Echols, Bhakti Larry Hough spoke with Florene Linnen, of the Georgetown County Core Group. She gives suggestions on how to prepare tasty meals that are also nutritious and good for your health, especially people with diabetes and related diseases, such as high blood pressure.
Insight airs Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and Midnight, on Radio Baha’i, 90.9 FM.
