Last week, I joined Tom Hall on WYPR  FM (my local NPR station here in Baltimore), for a segment on Midday, a daily news and current events show. We discussed the recent announcement by the White House of an additional $1.7 billion dollar commitment to their ongoing campaign to reduce hunger and food insecurity in the United States. With the gracious permission of Baltimore Public Media and WYPR-FM in Baltimore, we are including an edited version of the show as a bonus for Nutrition Diva listeners.
