Child nutrition bill stalls in House after 106 Democrats revolt

[inna]

I don't understand why there is practically no coverage of this issue; it directly affects (and is vitally important to) 40+ million most vulnerable Americans who are currently enrolled in the food stamp program and who are going to face a significant reduction in benefits as a result of these cuts.

Child nutrition bill is important and a good cause, but there *has* to be a better way of funding it than slashing billions from the food stamp program.
