WV leaders weigh fate of nutrition program funding
West Virginia senators face questions on supporting a final bill that could cut about 4.1 million in funding for SNAP Ed. The loss would end 40 health educators who run obesity prevention and nutrition programs at churches, treatment centers, and schools across the state. Kristin McCartney of WVU warns the cut would end SNAP-Ed outreach and gardening education in communities, just as Gov. Morrisey touts health initiatives and mobile clinics funded by state money. The Family Nutrition Program has aided thousands of youths with diabetes screening and nutrition lessons since 2014.
