Thanks for this alert and important read. Neubert and Merrigan describe how the symbiotic relationship of anti-hunger-advocates and farmers on SNAP funding has been seen as key for stable SNAP funding and decreasing food insecurity.

The worst food environment in American history and half+ food we eat is lab designed by Big Food so we eat too much. Biology and our available food controls what we eat. We need our government's help in this, WaPo! That is why we have elected leaders. See www.eatinginamerica.co/p/the-food-p...
The food pyramid was always a crummy way to depict a balanced diet: too bad RFK, Jr. has resurrected it.

Thanks reporters Astor and Callahan! But you were kind to RFK/Rollins! They trashed the duly appointed scientists' report two years in the making and secretly bought a new super quick one to match their personal beliefs. Preordained science is not science! See www.eatinginamerica.co/p/the-food-p...

While the White House walked back the threat, the #SNAP benefits are still reduced and delayed and 41M Americans may go hungry. If only President had gone hungry one day in his life. #FoodPantries in Biloxi, Cape Cod, Nebraska feel the fear. EatingInAmerica.substack.com
