Claim via Social Media: that a video of a lady in Atlanta telling a reporter that she sells $2,500 in #SNAP food stamps each month for $1,200 is authentic.

MediaBias FactCheck rating: Blatant Lie
@leadstoriescom #factCheck rating: False (An AI Creation) And it makes you wonder about the depravity and desperation of the plutocrat plunderers -- and about the fealty of their puppets. MAGA lies and real people do actually suffer, sicken and die.

The EU Parliament voted to ban terms like “veggie burger” and “plant-based sausage” because consumers are confused. Research shows people understand what they’re buying. The real issue is bureaucracy, not consumer confusion. Climate and food security challenges remain unaddressed.

🚨 FDA plans big food system reforms: tackling ultraprocessed foods, AI, & financial toxicity.

As an RDN + public sector leader, I see this as a call to engage.

✅ Advocate.
✅ Collaborate.
✅ Comment.

🍎 SNAP changes could impact 18M+ students’ access to free school meals.
📉 832K may need to apply manually.
This isn’t just about food—it’s about equity, learning & health.

🍽️ Proposed food policy changes (like banning dyes, replacing seed oils) may raise prices.
Why?
🚫 Alternatives aren’t always scalable or affordable.
Nutrition reform must balance health, cost & access.
