Is hunger in America a choice?

This week, over 40 million people worried about losing their SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown. But with Thanksgiving just around the corner, who's hurt most by hunger? And why do some believe that if you’re hungry, it’s your fault? Brittany gets into it with Poonam Gupta () , research associate at the Urban Institute, and Maggie Dickinson () , associate professor at Queens College and author of Feeding the CrisisCare and Abandonment and America's Food Safety Net.
