She the People is back with our friend Asta—grant manager and former school-nutrition leader—to break down SNAP, WIC, school meals, and why benefit cuts and delays hit kids, elders, and working families first. We dig into the Farm Bill, food deserts vs. “healthy food” myths, and what happens when policy meets the checkout line. Plus: what you can do this week (from food banks to GOTV) to keep neighbors fed and democracy alive.
