People are hungry in America, in a country of billionaires, where food should be a human right, and the administration will no longer collect data on food insecurity in the US saying that it is "redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous" and that number is only going to grow as people attempt to renew their benefits and the work requirements for SNAP go into effect.
In this episode Meghan Cichy, MPH RD returns to discuss her and Jessica's recent trip to DC for the National Anti-Hunger and Policy Conference, and their time walking the halls of Congress. They chat about the Farm Bill that will go before the Senate.
Meghan and Jessica get into one conference presentation in particular, and its surprising similarities to MAHA talking points.
They also reference the People vs Poison rally.
Next episode's topic will be Yesteryear.
Food insecurity vs nutrition insecurity
