Using oppositional politics to address economical inequalities are an important way to close the food gap between the middle class and people in poverty. 

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
Oppositional politics
-The best way to participate in oppositional politics is to address issues such as the wage gap. Money is definitely the biggest factor in making food accessible and by giving people a living wage it therefore makes it possible for the food gap to close. 
- An important way to close the food gap is to treat farmers better. This involves eliminating the pesticides that get continually sprayed on people who work in the fields. 
- Destroying the stigma of fat people because many people lose out to job opportunities and such because of their fatness. It is important to look beyond those stigmas and into the underlying  reasons there.
