DESCRIPTION:The proportion of older adults who are food insecure is growing
in the U.S. Yet recent congressional actions have reduced access to SNAP

onal\, cognitive\, social and financial well-being. At the societal level\
, it undermines the social fabric of families\, communities and health car
e systems.The United States must rethink its approach to older adult food
insecurity. Federal and \;community food and nutrition programs play a
n important role in addressing food insecurity across the life course\, bu
t few programs are designed to support the growing numbers of adults who a
re age sixty and older.Join Colleen Heflin and Madonna Harrington Meyer to
discuss their new book\, \;Food for Thought: Understanding Older Adul
t Food Insecurity\, and learn what changes are necessary to address older

SUMMARY:What’s at Stake for Older Adult Food Insecurity? Addressing the Lim
itations of Current Policies
UID:RFCALITEM639141248483860758
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The proportion of old
er adults who are food insecure is growing in the U.S. Yet recent congress
ional actions have reduced access to SNAP and Medicaid\, and funding for c
ommunity food assistance programs.
Food insecurity is connected to
nearly all other dimensions of well-being. At the individual level\, food
insecurity in old age undermines physical\, emotional\, cognitive\, social
and financial well-being. At the societal level\, it undermines the socia
l fabric of families\, communities and health care systems.
The United States must rethink its approach to older adult food insecur
ity. Federal and \;community food and nutrition programs play an
important role in addressing food insecurity across the life course\, but
few programs are designed to support the growing numbers of adults who are
age sixty and older.
