We continue our collaborative effort with United Way of Eastern Maine and the Good Shepherd Food Bank today talking about food security issues for seniors! Joining the conversation today was Jo Cooper, Executive Director of Friends In Action and Rob Crone, Director of Nutrition & Auxiliary Services for Eastern Area Agency on Aging.

The Pulse Morning Show welcomed our partners the United Way of Eastern Maine (UWEM) and Good Shepherd Food Bank (GSFB) to the studio this morning for another installment of the Zone In On Hunger project! Today's focus is on accessing healthy food. Why is food insecurity so often coupled with poor health and even obesity? UWEM's Adam Lacher and GSFB's Melinda Huston brought along Erin Sweeney of Food and Medicine in Brewer and Shoshona Smith of Healthy Acadia in Ellsworth. Take a look beyond the headlines and gain a better understanding of the food insecurity problem by listening to today's discussion.
