Ep. 14 - Friends with Government Benefits (Oh, SNAP!)

Why Are Americans Hungry in the Wealthiest Country on Earth?! In this episode of People Fuss, Carrie Prince and Doug Daniels dig into the wild contradictions of food, health, and wealth in America. From SNAP benefits and food insecurity to Big Ag’s corporate grip and the billion-dollar cuts to local farm programs — they ask the big question: How did we get here, and who can fix it? You’ll learn how farm monopolies like Tyson are squeezing out small farmers, why fast food and SNAP aren’t as simple as they seem, and how local farms could be the key to healthier, more connected communities. Plus: a badass farmer named Hallie Shoffner running for Congress, a rant about corn, and one very hungry cat. Tune in for sharp takes, unexpected laughs, and real talk about food justice, politics, and power — all with that signature People Fuss flair.
