The Food Of Food Programs

The Food Stamp Program, now known as, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is the U.S. largest food assistance agency, whose annual budget is $75 billion (U.S. Dept. of Agri., 2012). SNAP was created in 1969 to help combat hunger and improve the nutrition and health of low income families. Indeed, the federal government is acting irresponsibly and contributing to Americas obesity epidemic by allowing SNAP participants to purchase junk food, such as soda; therefore, sugary based beverages should be eliminated as an acceptable food item, expand knowledge regarding nutrition education and wellness programs and lastly, revise SNAP to meet current dietary guidelines and restrict unhealthy foods to benefit recipients.

Nutrition has always been a big part of my life even prior to becoming a nurse. On a daily basis I am using nutrition in some way or another to teach my patients or learn something about myself. I usually follow the latest nutritional news because and I am a firm believer that diet is key in health and healing.NS325 has been a very useful and knowledgeable course because I can personally relate to it and can apply much of the information learned to my own life and career. The Diet Analysis project was wonderful because it gave me a first hand look at my own diet habits.

Imagine your stomach growling, a feeling of emptiness, fatigue, and an inability to concentrate. Most people would associate these feelings with hunger and eat. Unfortunately, many Americans do not have the luxury of eating because of living in poverty. According to the Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of people living in poverty rose from 31.6 million in 2000 to 36.5 million in 2006. The number of people living in households facing food insecurity rose from 31 million in 1999 to 35.5 million in 2006. More than 12 million of the people living in food insecure households were children (Labue, 2009). Food America (2017) reports:

With $30 you can buy the following: 2 pies of Frozen Freschetta 12” Pizza, 1 box of Kellogg’s cereal of your choice, 3 boxes of Barilla Pasta, 2 jars of Barilla Pasta Sauce, 1 pound of turkey breast cold cuts, 1 package of salad blend, 1 and a ½ crown of broccoli, 5 tomatoes on the vine and 8 slices of store-made angel food cake (“ShopRite of Poughkeepsie Weekly Ad Week of April 20 through April 26”). Can you survive on that for a week? The average single able bodied, unemployed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipient in New York receives around $30 a week to purchase food (“Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program”). The food stamp program was made national by the Food Stamp Act of 1964 by President Lyndon. B. Johnson (“Food Stamps in the U.S”). Today, over 47.6 million Americans rely on the government to buy groceries (“Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program”). The food stamp program is a staple part of our society. However, there was a time when the program was so unpopular that it shut down for almost two decades. In the recent years, food stamp benefits have been on a trend of expanding not only the amount of recipients, but also the amount each recipient receives in benefits. Why has the food stamp program become so popular and supported over the years? And what is the fate of SNAP? The analysis of trends of the policy changes and public moods shows that the size of the food stamp program has changed with the shift in America’s attitude towards

I would march for the people who don't have an education and that are facing hunger problems. Being able to do this will give the kids and adults that haven't received an education and that are facing hunger. I would be brave enough to fight for their rights and be more active to what's happening around the world. We are facing big problems and we are almost getting to the road where there is going to be true equality in our country. Some people are not being able to vote (certain people). We will need to come a long way to help the kids and adults who have suffered from hunger to their educational rights. Some specific people are not able to have a job just because of their race. People are still treating other people with no respect and

Montclair State University and I posses a common vision. I, like MSU believe in the power of thinking critically and acting ethically in every possible aspect of my life. I have chosen to study Nutrition at Montclair because I want to help people make educated lifestyle choices and develop healthy habits, which has always been a dream of mine. Because I intend to pursue a career in dietetics, I see Montclair State University as an ideal place for me. Offering impressive coursework and programs that will quench my thirst for knowledge, this university will prepare me for a dietetic internship and provide me the confidence of knowing that I would be getting an excellent education in nutrition at a top school with consistently high ratings.

On July 23, 2015, I applied for food assistance.

See attached application “Frank-07-23-2015,” page 15 and Court order, “Agree Final Judgment July 14 2015.”

We spent our summer vacations with muddy little fingers, planting seeds in our Grandmother’s vegetable garden. My siblings and I grew up eating naturally grown food as long as we can remember, so it upsets me to live in an area where the closest place to eat is a dingy burger joint a few blocks away. When my older sister Livia, took the next big step of her life after high school, our family was ecstatic when she chose a place that truly brings back high-spirited memories of Slovakia and grandma’s garden. She chose the University of Vermont. The culture and food in Burlington, invigorated my interest to expanding my knowledge in the nutrition field, particularly due to the lack of it, where I currently live.

Mostly what you see when researching Feeding America is nothing but positive. However, there were a few odd outliers that I found when searching about their operations. On a site which dealt with nonprofit reviews, one consumer complained that their information was being spread to third parties without their permission. This could be a problem for the reliability and reputation of Feeding America. Down the search results, there seems to be another website named ‘Feeding America’ which features pornographic material. Even though they are not directly related to the non-profit charity Feeding America, this could hurt the public identity of their organization if they don’t get this issue solved. Even though this is a fraudulent use of their brand

During my A2 Food Technology course, I have learnt the basic nutritional needs of different age groups and I have used this knowledge to modify a dish that was high in salt, sugar and saturated fat until it was nutritionally balanced. This increased my interest, how simple changes to food choices could alter so much to health and well-being. This task demonstrated my ability and a keen interest in the subject area of nutrition and mirrored the daily task undertaken by a professional nutritional therapist.

The weekly seminars of Food, Culture, and Society with nine different speakers have been very interesting, educational, insightful, and fun. As someone who embarked on a major dieting project and have lost more than 60 lbs as a result to establish better health and lifestyle, the topics of these seminars have both been personally relevant and significant. Along the time span of this quarter, there were three different seminars that especially sparked and stood out for me.
