Understanding Food Insecurity with WhyHunger

You might not know it, but you probably know someone who is food insecure. It affects 42.2 million Americans, which means they are often forced to skip meals, eat less food at meals, buy cheap non-nutritious food, or feed their children but not themselves. The team at WhyHunger believes nutritious food is a human right, and Senior Director of Programs Alison Cohen joins to educate us on food insecurity and the shocking statistics, draws the connection to poverty, and shares how we can work to end hunger.
