The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — or SNAP — feeds 42 million Americans. But during the ongoing government shutdown, it's been caught in the political crossfire. USA TODAY Senior National Reporter Sarah D. Wire explains how states are scrambling to keep benefits flowing, what the Trump administration's new work rules mean for recipients and how food banks are bracing for a surge in demand.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JJ and Tucker dive into how the U.S. government shutdown and SNAP funding freeze affect families across Fargo and beyond — and what you can do right now to help your neighbors fight hunger. At the time of this recording, the U.S. government has shut down — and SNAP benefits have stopped reloading, leaving millions of Americans wondering how to afford their next meal. In this powerful episode, JJ and Tucker explore the real-world impact of food insecurity, focusing on the Fargo–Moorhead community and the incredible work being done by the Great Plains Food Bank and the Emergency Food Pantry. You'll learn how local families are coping, why cash donations often go further than canned goods, and how small acts — like rounding up at the register or organizing a workplace food drive — can make a massive difference.

The need has never been greater.

The episode starts with shine - literal shine - as we trade retinol tips, laugh about mic placement, and compare notes on simple routines that actually work. Then the tone shifts. We walk through the government shutdown, what a “clean” continuing resolution really means, and why leaving ACA funding out isn't a technicality - it's a strategy that hikes premiums and pushes people off care.From there, we go straight to the dinner table. SNAP benefits hang in the balance, and the myths crumble fast: most recipients are families with children, many are elderly or disabled, and a significant share are working. We talk about the companies paying low wages while taxpayers quietly pick up the tab, how stigma around benefits blinds us to the tiny slice of the budget SNAP occupies, and how a Portland shop is feeding neighbors with “SNAP breakfasts” funded by micro-donations from across the world. That generosity is breathtaking - and a sign that our systems are failing the people they're meant to serve.We unpack the middle class myth, the self-made story, and the way repetition shapes belief more than facts. We name the cowardice of leaders who won't defend basic institutions and celebrate the people - lawyers, organizers, local officials - who keep fighting for a fair vote, fair pay, and a safety net that catches everyone. Joy shows up as a practice: caring for our skin, caring for our neighbors, and caring enough to tell the truth about power, wages, and dignity.If this moved you, share it with a friend, rate the show, and leave a review.

Food insecurity is, 'a stresser that really interferes with everything' says Military Family Advisory Network CEO, Shannon Razsadin. She tells Megan Lynch that the government shutdown adds to the problems facing military families. She says it's 'a ripple-effect' for families facing going into debt to pay for food while waiting for delayed paychecks. CombatMilitaryHunger.org for more info.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Jill Dixon discuss the rising food insecurity in the U.S., highlighting the critical role of food banks. Jill explains that food banks coordinate efforts across 200+ food banks and thousands of food pantries. The Food Depot in Northern New Mexico serves 43,000 people annually, distributing 10 million pounds of food. Recent cuts to federal programs like TEFAP and SNAP have significantly impacted food banks, with the Food Depot losing 10% of its food supply and 58,000 New Mexicans at risk of losing SNAP benefits. Dixon emphasizes the need for community support and innovative programs to address these challenges. Key Takeaways: Food banks across the US all have different requirements based on the people they serve, where they are, and what those people need. If you've seen one food bank, you've seen one food bank. While food drives are still extremely meaningful and important, fund drives are becoming increasingly common and necessary. The vast majority of people who receive SNAP assistance and turn to food banks when SNAP assistance is not enough are already working at least one job or are caregivers. Food banks are a highly sophisticated business network, working together nationwide to acquire supplies through different means. "Hunger is not actually its own issue. It's a symptom of poverty; it's a symptom of the cost-of-living crisis that is making it increasingly hard year over year." — Jill Dixon Connect with Jill Dixon: Professional Bio: https://thefooddepot.org/jill-dixon/ Website: https://thefooddepot.org/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jill-dixon-22b15b312 Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, we shine a light on an issue that is, at time, overlooked within the foster care world — food insecurity within our communities and how it deeply affects children and families. From limited access to meals to the emotional impact of food instability, Tracey and Jeff discuss how hunger influences a child's sense of safety, stability, and well-being. Our CASA program believes that we should all be working to ensure every child, no matter their circumstance, has consistent access to the nourishment they deserve.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls?

As many Canadians gather to share a big meal and give thanks, more people than ever are going hungry. With the rising cost of groceries, one in four households is struggling to put food on the table. It has municipalities declaring hunger emergencies, food banks scrambling to meet the need, and experts calling for systemic change.And: The federal government has announced some of the "nation building" projects it intends to fast-track. We take you to one town slated for a major infrastructure upgrade: Churchill, Manitoba. It's home to North America's only deepwater port with access to the Arctic Ocean. Residents share their anticipation and concerns about what a port expansion could mean.Also: NASA is sending humans back to the moon, and a Canadian is one of them. We hear from astronaut Jeremy Hansen about his upcoming lunar flyby.Plus: The latest COVID-19 vaccines are here but not all Canadians can get them for free anymore, new research into why women are at higher risk for Alzheimer's, a Saskatchewan First Nation aims to reestablish its independence, and what a dry summer means for this fall's pumpkin crop.

Imagine not knowing when you will eat next or where that meal will come from? Think about the relationship that sound nutrition has with your ability to learn, understand, focus, grow, and solve everyday problems. When you are hungry, everything else seems to carry less weight. Consider that nearly 25% of young people in America today (including college students) are food insecure. Try to digest how that might be possible in the wealthiest country in the world; a country that produces more food than it needs. Yet, here we are, in the grips of a serious problem that impacts so many. As educators we have an opportunity and a responsibility to help set the stage for student learning. Without sound nutrition, without adequate healthy calories, our students will find it very difficult to assimilate what it is that we offer in the classroom. Join CAFÉ Talks for a presentation on Food Insecurity by Chef Thomas Barnes of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It might just change your perspective on what it means to be a caring teacher.

Interviewee: Bassel Shanab, BS is a fourth-year medical student at the Yale School of Medicine.  Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science sits down with Bassel Shanab (Yale School of Medicine), co-first author of “The Intersection of Disability, Race, Ethnicity, and Financial Background on Food Insecurity Among Medical Students,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. We move beyond prevalence rates to the lived realities behind them—and why hunger so often hides in plain sight in elite training environments. Bassel shares the personal experiences that shaped his questions, the multi-institutional data that sharpened the answers, and the practical moves any school can make now: screen routinely, get cost-of-living estimates right, normalize help-seeking, and invest in evidence-based campus supports. Along the way, we talk flourishing (not just “fixing”), student-led research networks, and why transparency beats stigma every time. Whether you're a dean, DRP, faculty member, or student, this conversation offers a humane roadmap from surviving to thriving. Links to the open-access article, and related tools are in the show notes.
