We are disappointed by the USDA's decision to end its annual hunger survey and urges them to reconsider.

We're joining forces with partners to fill this critical knowledge gap, because better health begins with access to nutritious food.

Full statement: https://sm.eatright.org/HungerSurvey
Image with text that reads: "Academy Statement on Discontinuation of Annual Hunger Survey: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics was disappointed to learn about the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) plans to discontinue its annual hunger survey as of October 2025. This decision raises significant questions about the commitment of the administration and Congress to transparency, especially given the projected harmful effects on nutrition security programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and nutrition research included in the budget reconciliation bill that Congress recently passed."

“As health care professionals we see the long-term effects of food insecurity. Nutrition affects every aspect of children’s growth & development & long-term well-being. Calories, protein, vitamins & minerals affect bone and muscle growth.” By @nurseteria.bsky.social & @donnagaffney.bsky.social
Opinion: 13 million American kids are hungry. GOP just made it worse by cutting SNAP.
RFK Jr. acknowledges poor diet is a contributing factor to childhood disease, but said nothing when Congress cut funding for the SNAP food program.

Why MAHA’s push on Coca-Cola & ice cream is ‘nutritionally hilarious’ www.statnews.com/2025/07/17/c... via @statnews.com

Getting Coca-Cola to use cane sugar rather and ice cream manufacturers to stop their use of synthetic dyes are the latest achievements trumpeted by the Make America Healthy Again movement.

Further, when we only interact with machines, it diminishes our ability to have patience, empathy, and compassion. We also do not develop “small talk” skills and the chance to have human connection which is essential to life. There are many implications here.

It's not that Americans don't *want* to think. It's that our culture of overwork disincentivizes Americans from spending time on "unproductive" tasks. And because of capitalism's cost disease, those "unproductive" tasks include the task of caring for others and caring for ourselves.

“If a recent crop of commercials touting the benefits of AI is any indication, lots of Americans these days feel unduly burdened by the demands of everyday cognition. Apparently, it’s asking way too much to expect a human to…write a note to a friend, or plan a meal to feed a child. Let alone read.”

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Not ready to give up the fight for what’s right? Reach out to your representatives-ask them to vote NO on measures to end food assistance programs &
reduce school meals. Hungry kids cannot learn well, grow well, stay well. Be an advocate to #feedtheneedtosucceed

Don't let AI turn your brain into digital jello. Stay sharp:

-Mental math while shopping

-Navigate without GPS

-Memorize phone numbers and lines of poetry

-Do hard things: chess, puzzles, music, languages
