Did you know that poverty and hunger is often associated with obesity, depression, alcoholism, and childhood trauma? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Mariana Chilton, Ph.D., MPH, Professor at the Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University, in Philadelphia, PA. Chilton directs the Center for Hunger-Free Communities, and is the founder of “Witnesses to Hunger,” a PhotoVoice project that documents the lives of low-income women living in Philadelphia. Chilton busts common myths and misconceptions about food insecurity; she explains how the use of food assistance programs reduces hospitalizations; and, she describes the circumstances that contribute to poverty and food insecurity. “Hunger is associated with isolation, humiliation and shame,” explains Chilton. She combines hard statistical and scientific data with human stories to change policies and promote greater connectedness, community, kindness, and compassion.Related website: www.centerforhungerfreecommunities.org
