In today's episode, Ken talks with Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern (D) to discuss the $200 billion cut to SNAP benefits and the upcoming farm bill fight. McGovern dismantles common myths about food assistance and points out who ultimately gains from cutting the benefits meant for our most vulnerable. He shares why he believes “hunger is a political condition” that has become a political weapon, why environmental and nutrition policy are inseparable and what's at stake in the next farm bill debate. McGovern underscores why staying engaged and using your voice matters if we want to make the world better. #snap #enviromentalworkinggroup #mcgovern #food
