President Biden's anti-hunger strategy 'builds on existing programs to ensure the food and nutrition security of the millions of Americans who face challenges putting food on the table.'
"To end hunger we need a serious effort to address poverty and its root causes," said one anti-hunger campaigner."A framework that is focused on dismantling structural inequities and ensuring broad based prosperity for all is essential."Anti-hunger groups in the U.S. on Tuesday applauded the White House's new strategy to ensure everyone in the U.S.
The plan would eliminate eligibility barriers for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program which have historically kept formerly incarcerated people from using benefits, and would support expanded benefits for people in U.S. territories, college students, and young people who have aged out of foster care.
"We know that 50 years of chronic hunger in America demonstrates that this crisis is caused by low wages, worker exploitation along the food chain, structural racism, and policies that bend to big food companies,"Noreen Springstead, executive director of WhyHunger."Too many people go hungry because they are working and don't earn enough to afford food, let alone the nutritious food they need, especially with the strain of high inflation.
