This week, the House of Representatives will vote on a Farm Bill - TopicsExpress



          

This week, the House of Representatives will vote on a Farm Bill proposal that will cut $40 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The cut would translate into about 1.5 billion lost meals for hungry families every year for the next 10 years. This is on top of the looming benefit reductions that will impact all SNAP participants starting in November 2013. The combined cuts would be more than the entire Feeding America network distributes in a year! Increasing hunger in America is not the way to balance our nation’s budget.
