WIC funding faces a major threat as the House narrowly passed a budget bill slashing the program by $200 million—just as grocery prices soar and families struggle to afford healthy food. The cuts could slash monthly benefits for breastfeeding moms from $52 to $13 and for young children from $26 to $10, jeopardizing nutrition for millions. Despite claims by some lawmakers that the program will still be fully funded, experts warn this rollback could undo recent gains in kids’ fruit and veggie intake. The bill now heads to the Senate, where bipartisan support for WIC could determine its fate.
