"It's Like Moving the Titanic:" Community Organizing to Address Food (In)Security. 
Health communication scholars are uniquely positioned to examine the ways in which individuals organize to address current and future exigencies related to social ills.  In particular, organizations are key sites in understanding our health decisions related to food choice.  From a young age, children develop habits of eating that stay with them throughout their life.  More specifically, food insecurity impacts childhood nutrition.  Children from low-income homes experience disproportional negative health outcomes.  Appalachian Ohio is an area within the United States that experiences severe poverty.  In 2013, community members in a small public school district in Appalachian Ohio formed the Appalachian Nutrition Advisory Council to address the nutritional needs of students in schools.  This project stories the ways in which community members creatively organized to supplement existing structures in place designed to address school nutrition and food security.
