Book excerpt: For many Americans who live at or below the poverty threshold, access to healthy foods at a reasonable price is a challenge that often places a strain on already limited resources and may compel them to make food choices that are contrary to current nutritional guidance. To help alleviate this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers a number of nutrition assistance programs designed to improve access to healthy foods for low-income individuals and households. The largest of these programs is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called the Food Stamp Program, which today serves more than 46 million Americans with a program cost in excess of $75 billion annually. The goals of SNAP include raising the level of nutrition among low-income households and maintaining adequate levels of nutrition by increasing the food purchasing power of low-income families. In response to questions about whether there are different ways to define the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a study to examine the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments, specifically: the feasibility of establishing an objective, evidence-based, science-driven definition of the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, as well as other relevant dimensions of adequacy; and data and analyses needed to support an evidence-based assessment of the adequacy of SNAP allotments. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy reviews the current evidence, including the peer-reviewed published literature and peer-reviewed government reports. Although not given equal weight with peer-reviewed publications, some non-peer-reviewed publications from nongovernmental organizations and stakeholder groups also were considered because they provided additional insight into the behavioral aspects of participation in nutrition assistance programs. In addition to its evidence review, the committee held a data gathering workshop that tapped a range of expertise relevant to its task.

Book excerpt: Hunger and food insecurity are serious problems in New York City. Approximately 1.3 million New Yorkers rely on emergency food programs such as soup kitchens and food pantries. Limited access to food and, in particular, limited access to nutritious food affect the development of health conditions ranging from stunting and poor brain development in children, to chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease in adults. There is also a growing body of evidence that food insecurity can lead to obesity because the least expensive food available is typically high in calories and high in fat, but low in nutrients. The Food Stamp Program (FSP), the US's largest food assistance program, is an opportunity to relieve hunger and its health effects, as well as obesity and its health effects in low-income communities. This paper explains how the FSP functions in New York City and New York State, and identifies areas of opportunity for maximizing good nutrition and healthy weight for low-income New Yorkers. The first set of opportunities address factors within the program that pose barriers to maximizing enrollment among eligible individuals. The second set concern the program's intersection with food retailers and the availability and affordability of healthy foods in low-income neighborhoods. This policy brief suggests possible approaches to these two sets of issues. To develop this paper, the New York Academy of Medicine reviewed publicly available documents, spoke with public officials, and contacted a number of nonprofit organizations.
