Hunger: What Can We Do? (2/3)Good Food for All: A Dream Deferred with Mark Winnie

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Food & Eating"

An invitation to members of the community to learn more about hunger and food insecurity in the United States, to consider our responsibilities toward those in need, and to find out what we can do to help.

This session— Good Food for All: A Dream Deferred

Since the discovery of domestic hunger in the 1960s, the Unites States has spent trillions of dollars in an attempt to end it. However, with 15 percent of the population food insecure, 47 million people receiving SNAP benefits, and demand at food banks growing steadily, the results are not encouraging. Mark Winne will review the history, programs, policies, and assumptions behind the long battle to end hunger, and explore why that war has reached a stalemate.
