The show previously covered food deserts in an earlier episode, and in this latest they touched on it again by reairing the clip. Larry also mentioned Hunger Free America, a non-profit aiming to ensure that all Americans have access to nutritious food.

The mod team had discussed previously highlighting the organizations mentioned on the show as a way to start a conversation beyond just the episode and instead on the larger issues it brings up. I know it's a little too late now, but since this is an issue that resonates with me I figured it's not quite time yet to get lazy.

If you want to get involved, Hunger for America is a great place to start, but there's plenty of other organizations. Food banks, Feeding America, even some community gardens are all ways to make a difference. The USDA has a great tool that allows you to locate food deserts in your area. It's something that's not discussed often, especially in a presidential election season, but it's a widespread issue. Hell, I grew up in a place referred to as "The Salad Bowl of the World" and yet there were and continue to be pockets of the community where people don't have access to the same foods they're working to harvest.

I was messing around in my freetime and made a few simple flairs. Soul Daddy, TNS Logo and a 100 flair to start with but if there's something in particular you'd like from the show, I can do my best. If you want to take a crack at it, make a 32x32 (or smaller) pixel PNG image and PM me. I'll do my best to get it added.

I'm sure you noticed when a new episode didn't air last night.
