No funds for research on ultra-processed foods? The new govt funding bill defunds food safety measures (already winnowed this year). So: no improvements in traceability to track food sources of outbreaks, no more funds to prevent produce contamination, none for UPF research.

Over 1 billion tonnes of food are wasted each year, causing 10% of global emissions.

Infant botulism is on the rise: serious illness in 12 babies is linked to ByHeart's Whole Nutrition (cans and pouches). A spike in botulism (84 cases since August) may also be due to this brand. Onset can take weeks so new parents beware!

Trump cut off food funds for millions of Americans. To survive they must live on cheap processed foods. Not harmless, the ultra-processed stuff promotes overeating, disrupts metabolism, and increases the risk for disease. Meanwhile, Congress is cutting affordable healthcare too.

Americans are going hungry. First the USDA halted $500 million in food deliveries to food programs. Then the govt shut down. Now SNAP benefits are stalled, and cut in half. Food banks can't cover what federal programs do. How is this okay?

A grape harvest crew sets the freshly picked grapes out to dry. Without the intense summer heat, the humidity during fall and winter poses a different challenge. It is vital to ensure the fruit is dry before being packed in boxes and shipped all around the world. #WeFeedYou

3.5 million turkeys and chickens (and ducks) were destroyed over the past month. Why? Salmonella? No: bird flu. More to come as birds fly south for the winter, spreading disease...without government funds to monitor in humans. Sound safe?

Partial funding, he says? When? How much? The 1 in 8 poor Americans must wait, wondering how much of the $190/month (SNAP average) they will get and how soon they can eat. Sen. Warnock (D-GA) says Trump is pitting the hungry against the sick: health care OR food?

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

SNAP benefits won't go out in November, which may put military families experiencing food insecurity at risk.

SNAP, America’s largest anti-hunger program, provides supplemental food benefits for over 40 million people.

Swipe to learn what the program is, why it has been at the top of newsfeeds, and what would happen without SNAP.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
