All of this makes community donations more important than ever. Even small contributions can help soften the gap while organizations work to recover.

Food banks are facing the same strain. As reported by NPR, some missed government food deliveries entirely during the shutdown and expect to be short on stock for months as they try to catch up.

Households that relied on SNAP or missed paychecks spent down reserves they had just trying to get by. Now, even with benefits and paychecks restarting, it’ll take time for many to rebuild stability to stop relying on emergency support.

Even though the shutdown has ended, many food banks and pantries are going to feel its impact for months… 🧵

With so much happening in the world right now, I’m so, so grateful I get to channel my angst into projects that (hopefully) help people in some way. My latest piece highlights 40+ budget-friendly plant-based recipes centered on affordable staples like beans, lentils, and oats. Hope you enjoy ☺️

Eating plant-based doesn’t have to be fancy—it can be about eating nourishing food that fills you up without emptying your wallet 🙂

Between “plant-based,” “vegan,” “vegetarian,” “flexitarian,” and “plant-forward,” it’s no wonder people feel confused. If you—or someone you know—wants help making sense of it all, this post is a great place to start! www.choosemoreplants.com/plant-based-...

Thank you, Carla! I heard Dr. Batiste talk about his book “Selfish” on The Exam Room podcast last year and made a mental note to read it. I appreciate you putting that back on my radar ☺️

One of my goals this year is to read more books and broaden the genres I explore—novels, essays, and maybe even some poetry. While I’m excited to venture into new territory, as a dietitian, I can’t resist a good health, nutrition, or wellness book. Have any good recommendations? 📚

Over half of surveyed travelers struggled to find healthy food at U.S. airports this past year, and 71% said they’d try plant-based options if available. @plantbasednews.bsky.social featured these findings and some of my tips for navigating airport dining here: plantbasednews.org/lifestyle/tr...

Pleasantly surprised to stumble across these in the freezer aisle at Wegmans 😯 I heard Forks Over Knives was launching a whole-food, plant-based frozen food line, but this is my first time seeing them in person. For those who’ve tried them—what’re your thoughts?

Forks Over Knives was one of the first documentaries that got me thinking about going vegan. Despite being released in 2011, it’s still such a powerful watch. If you’re interested in a plant-based dietitian’s perspective on the film, here’s my full take: www.choosemoreplants.com/review-forks...
