  • Analysis

    Mississippi has the worst hunger rate in the country. Why do we make it so hard to get food assistance?

    More than 20 percent of Mississippians -- and nearly 30 percent of children -- do not have consistent access to nutritious food. The latest cuts to food assistance programs are a step in the wrong direction.
