                RECOGNIZING MALNUTRITION AWARENESS WEEK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 2022

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Malnutrition 
Awareness Week.
  According to the Department of Agriculture, 33.8 million Americans 
struggle with food insecurity, and in my district in Central New York, 
nearly one in seven children are food-insecure. We have to do more to 
keep food on the table for American families and address the root 
causes of malnutrition. That's why in Congress, I have been proud to 
support crucial federal nutrition programs like SNAP, which millions of 
Americans rely on, and have been a consistent advocate for the Meals on 
Wheels program.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
recognizing Malnutrition Awareness Week and I urge continued work on 
efforts to combat food insecurity in America.
