Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, and depression are directly linked to food insecurity. The resulting health issues often require expensive medications and treatments, leaving families with even less money to afford nutritious food.
Fortunately, there is a solution: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This program provides essential nutrition assistance to households with low incomes, helping them afford the food they need to stay healthy during tough times.
Strengthening SNAP provisions in the upcoming farm bill is crucial to ensuring that more families in rural areas have access to the food they need, which can ultimately lead to lower health care costs and improved well-being.
