People experience food insecurity in different ways. When food becomes scarce, it is often the mother who is the first to change her eating habits to protect others, especially children, from the effects. To find out what it takes to ensure everyone has enough to eat, researchers at Virginia Tech surveyed low-income mothers and caregivers. “We wanted to explore how changes in the level of food security in the home affect maternal mental health,” said Sarah Mishak, assistant professor in the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Kinesiology and associate director of the Family Nutrition Program. “Mothers’ mental health is…

Once upon a time, a horse named Arrogate made a name for himself by winning consecutive prestigious stakes races.

Private standards, such as those established by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), also play a role, but they are not a substitute for the regulatory power and public accountability inherent in U.S. food laws. This artilce argues that U.S. food…
