This September the SNAP-Ed program was cut as a part of the Trump Administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill. This bill cuts taxes, changes federal spending levels, raises the national debt limit, and reshapes funding across multiple agencies and programs throughout the federal government.
The program served about 43,000 students in Philadelphia through the Eat Right Philly program, which provided students with nutrition education, cooking lessons, and support for healthier diets and lifestyles. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education website, more than 70% of students in the city qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Advocates say that loss of SNAP-Ed leaves a huge gap in nutrition access and education across Philadelphia.
I believe Trump has the best interest for Americans at heart but I don’t agree with everything he’s doing. Especially if it affects the children. He needs to remember that these children are the future of America and if they aren’t taken care of the only thing that can happen is this world getting worse!!! If only he would step back and realize not every American families have the money to feed their children breakfast, lunch and dinner. That’s why the schools programs that feed some children need to continue or we’ll have hungry children. And what good is that? None!!!! Absolutely none since I myself know that I can’t focus with my stomach on E!! Imagine how children feel!??
