Movie review: ‘Place at the Table’ documents problems of hunger in America	1.3.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Sean P. Means The Salt Lake Tribune Published Mar 1, 2013 11:14AM MDT The facts presented in the documentary “A Place at the Table” (which debuted at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival under the title “Finding North”) are harsh: One in six Americans don’t get enough to eat on a regular basis, and what they can afford is usually junk — largely because U.S. farm policy is weighted away from fruits and vegetables and toward grains that are converted into processed food. The movie explores the link between hunger and obesity (because people can’t afford to buy healthy f... ...

Stamps for junk food	15.12.2012	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Dec 15, 2012 01:01AM MDT In “Food stamps and obesity” (Forum, Dec. 12), David Turner proposed that we help fight obesity “by making food stamps twice as valuable for fresh produce, grains and ‘clean’ foods.” I work at a local grocery store and many people use their food stamps to buy junk food. More often than not, the people who come in with food stamps buy large amounts of soda and chips. I was hanging with a close friend, and her mom then sent us down to the gas station to buy her soda with her food stamps. That’s n... ...

Food stamps and obesity	12.12.2012	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Dec 12, 2012 01:01AM MDT When it comes to obesity, the United States has been taking a turn for the worse. We can’t eliminate obesity for good, but we can help reduce it.

We can help this problem by making food stamps twice as valuable for fresh produce, grains and “clean” foods. Da... ...
