“Childhood hunger in America doesn’t make sense to me,” says Taste of the Nation Culinary Council member Chef John Tesar. “It’s inexcusable. We [Americans] have all this success and power and can’t save something that is so fundamentally important.”
Chef Tesar doesn’t mince words when it comes to what some would call food justice for children and their families. “We have to take a stand to address this issue,” he says. “We need to solve this problem with logic and solutions, not vigilante justice.”
Which may be why, after 18 years, Chef Tesar is still volunteering with Share Our Strength. He believes that while some cities are still “in the dark” about the prevalence and implications of hungry children in America, there has been a “broader consciousness” about childhood hunger in America since Share Our Strength started focusing on it.
