Millennial college students are facing "food insecurity"—uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate food, and the inability to access that food without a$$i$tance. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Read @wihopelab’s report: https://t.co/h54Hn8E2OZ #MillennialMon

A2. I think that this sort of thinking is exactly what diminishes the impact of hunger in the lives of students🚫🍲🍕. When we normalize it we inadvertently give our consent. This is not ok! #MillennialMon https://t.co/YhmDHPbcLB
Higher Ed, Not Debt @HigherEdNotDebt
@YoungInvincible A2. The burdens of today’s cost of college are felt beyond tuition. Weighing nutrition and quantity against costs between food options is a *too-common* part of the college experience, but the problem goes deeper than that. #MillennialMon
Debra Isaacs Schafer @DebraISchafer
@YoungInvincible A2: Sure...it can be part of the "experience" once in a while, yet students often go sans food for days. Or eat once every other day/1 meal. It impacts everything...performance, health, etc. And many are housing insecure as well. #MillennialMon

A3. Students often blame themselves for their inability to meet the unrealistic financial demands of higher ed. #MillennialMon
Kristin McGuire @Im_Just_Krissy
Q3: Food Insecurity is a barrier to completion. Not having enough to eat leads to lower grades and test scores, longer completion time and increase in drop out rates. In addition to all of that, it also causes deadly illnesses. #MillennialMon https://t.co/PRyzl6RVUM
Higher Ed, Not Debt @HigherEdNotDebt
@YoungInvincible A2. Low-cost, high-sodium, fatty foods shouldn't *have* be the health cost in order to pay for an ever-increasing cost of a degree. Narratives that justify this misunderstand the degree of poverty among college students today, and the use of food banks by students. #MillennialMon
Young Invincibles @YoungInvincible
Q4: What are some of the roadblocks students encounter when it comes to solving this issue on their own? #MillennialMon
#SpreadThaGospel @IsisThaSaviour
A3. Food helps fuel the mind and gives the body the necessary nutrients to produce energy. When students lack energy they also lack the ability to perform all forms of work🏃‍♀️💨 #MillennialMon

There needs to be a dialogue between the state and higher ed institutions that's geared towards raising awareness. Info sessions and workshops are needed to inform students about these resources. #MillennialMon https://t.co/7MhHtxx2Gz

RT @Im_Just_Krissy: Q2: Q2: Nope. For low income students, the "struggle life" is not romanticized nor fun. It's real. And these poor food options and lack of nutrition lead to deadly preventable illnesses like diabetes and hypertension. Folks should have to starve to get a degree. #MillennialMon https://t.co/LeXYRw6dLD

RT @IsisThaSaviour: A7. One initiative that has proven to be effective is our #free national school lunch program but it's only reserved for grades K-12th. Higher ed advocates like @saragoldrickrab have suggested it be extended to college students. This would we be a game changer! #MillennialMon https://t.co/m4ZnHrF85X

Faculty and staff can support by giving students a platform to share their stories. Elevating our voices while encouraging other students to join the conversation could be a very powerful testament to their commitment to eradicating campus hunger! #MillennialMon https://t.co/NtUnnNz78T

Q10: In 2016, 30mil kids participated in National School lunch program. We need to realize these kids become low income college students& still need assistance. If we look at this as a community problem, not an individual one &find a lasting solution. #MillennialMon https://t.co/ztQAhOJsWa
