Andrew Fisher, who has worked in the anti-hunger field for twenty years as an executive director, researcher, policy advocate, and coalition builder, discusses his new book Big Hunger: The Unholy Alliance between Corporate America and Anti-Hunger Groups. He argues that anti-hunger efforts don’t succeed if they’re focused on charity and not on the root causes of food insecurity, improving public health and reducing income inequality. He details a vision that encompasses a broader definition of hunger characterized by a focus on public health, economic justice, and economic democracy.
This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
