Kim is joined this week by Erin Hysom, a Senior Child Nutrition Policy Analyst at the Food Research and Action Center, discusses the critical issue of childhood hunger and the importance of school meals. She highlights the impact of food insecurity on children's health and academic performance, the benefits of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) in providing free meals to all students, and the challenges faced by school nutrition programs.
