Thesis: The government should be providing more funding towards SNAP because many Americans are in food insecurity, most of Americans live in food deserts, and they also need to subsidize farming productions.
Topic Sentences: Most Americans define food insecurity by not knowing when or where their next meal is going to come from
Another thing America should be doing while funding more for SNAP is preventing food deserts in the country. A food desert is a geographic area where affordable and nutritious food is difficult to obtain, particularly for those without access to an automobile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert).
The last thing America should do to help fund SNAP is to subsidize farming productions. America gives about 20 billion dollars to farmers each year to help grow crops (http://usliberals.about.com/od/FoodFarmingIssues/a/What-Are-Farm-Subsidies.htm).

Summary: America has about 50 million people that are starving every day (A Place at The Table). The government isn't doing enough for these people. The government made a program called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which is basically food stamps. Food stamps are only available to low-income Americans, over 47 million Americans are in the food stamp program. On average each household that is in SNAP gets about 130 dollars a month for food (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental_Nutrition_Assistance_Program). That just isn’t enough money to buy decent food so most people buy the cheapest things which is junk food. Some people think of starving people as skinny but a lot of them are overweight because all they can afford is chips and ramen noodles which is very unhealthy, so they gain weight. The government should be providing more funding towards SNAP because many Americans are in food insecurity, most of Americans live in food deserts, and they also need to subsidize farming productions.
