Living in a food desert can negatively impact health, putting people at higher risk of becoming overweight or obese. SNAP cuts may make both obesity and food insecurity worse, writes @epearsonbusph https://t.co/8tSEfyGE08 via @NPR

[No Kid Hungry @nokidhungry]

SNAP is one of the most effective programs we have when it comes to feeding hungry kids. It helped Jessica, just like it helps millions of other families, put food on the table during a hard time. https://t.co/zmQ6ZvIZ7A #ProtectSNAP #HandsOffSNAP
