“Food Is Political:” Marion Nestle on What We Eat and How It's Regulated

Season 2025 Episode 8029 | 18m 16s

The government shutdown has put millions at risk of losing their SNAP benefits. Most recently, the Dept of Agriculture has directed states to "immediately undo" food stamps for those in need. Author Marion Nestle says low-income families are being used as pawns in this political chaos. Nestle joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the issue and her new book "What to Eat Now."
