SNAP Seniors Outsmarting Cognitive Decline, Karen Not Included
An NIH-funded study reveals that older adults who participate in SNAP, the federal food assistance program, experience a 'slower rate of cognitive decline' compared to those eligible but not enrolled. As the article quotes, 'older adults who participated in SNAP showed a slower rate of cognitive decline than people who were eligible for the food assistance program but didnât receive benefits.' Basically, grandmaâs secret weapon to beating dementia might just be a government food cardâtake that, late-stage capitalism and overpriced kale!

This is giving big 'feeding grandma to save her sanity but not funding education' energy. Apparently, the best health plan is a government food coupon. Someone tell the billionaires while they snack on caviar.
When the federal food program outperforms Wall Street on keeping minds sharp, you know the economy's got a glitch. SNAP: slowing cognitive decline while capitalism speeds up inequality.
