Who is hungry in America? It’s not just who you might think.
In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima talks with Rachel Sabella, Director of No Kid Hungry New York, about the hidden face of hunger in our communities. With one in five children at risk of food insecurity and grocery prices soaring, Rachel explains how bipartisan solutions—like no-cost school meals and Summer EBT—can have a powerful impact on families, local economies, and the nation at large.
They discuss:
- Why rising prices are pushing even middle-income families into food insecurity
- The importance of dignity in food assistance programs
- How proposed federal cuts to SNAP could reverberate through farms, schools, and stores
- What everyday people can do to make a difference
If you’ve ever wondered how hunger could exist in a country of abundance—or what to do about it—this conversation is for you.
